James and I have a little three acre hobby farm here in Oregon, and one of my favorite parts is having FRESH fresh turkey for Thanksgiving. Looking through some pictures and just wanted to share some of the things we'll be giving thanks for!!
Of course, as is my M.O., I didn't really pencil out when to buy the baby turkeys to have them ready for butchering JUST before Thanksgiving, so got them a too early.
These guys gonna be HUGE by next month!!!
Did the same thing last year, and I think our heaviest clocked it at over 40 lbs post-butchering. I obviously learned my lesson!
Butchering is going to be quite the task, but it's worth the extra work!
Here's a shot of our farm last Spring, looking out from the back porch where we have the barbecues. Not a bad place to sit back and enjoy a beer while we're cooking, I'll tell ya!
Sitting out there with James always fills me with gratitude. So SO much to be thankful for, including the big @$$ turkeys!
We also just had some new baby duckies hatch, which is always exciting.
