Meat World


This is what is happening in my kitchen right now. Every bowl in the house is being used to hold ground deer meat or, deer sausage meat. 


Or something related to one of those two things. 

Jessie and the boys are here too and the men have been working on this project since about noon or maybe earlier, and I'm about to make supper if I can find enough counter space. I've had a good time with my daughter and two youngest grandsons today. We even went for a little walk down Main Street and saw Miss Liola. It's been the nicest, bluest-sky day you can imagine and here are a few more pictures. 


Levon is going through his baby acne or as I call it, his welcome to the planet skin adjustment.


Pre-lunch.

Library reading. NO MORE MONKEYS JUMPING ON THE BED!


Beautiful mama with two babies. You should see her with one on each hip. She's amazing. 

Off to cook grouper! Which Mr. Moon caught last night. And make a salad from the garden. And cook grits whose origins I had absolutely nothing to do with. But they'll be good anyway.


Love...Ms. Moon

  1. Welcome to the planet skin adjustment! hahahhaha!

    Monkies jumping on beds will never grow old with any child ever.

    1. Well, it's true. One minute you're a sort of aquatic creature, the next an earth-dweller. Hell on the complexion.
      And August always jumps on my bed and shouts, "No more monkeys jumping on the bed!"

  2. How is Little August adjusting to his brother? They all look quite cozy together. Joanne

    1. I believe August has accepted Levon as a sort of new part of his mother like an arm that she can detach and let someone else hold at times.

  3. You take such nice photos of people. Your husband is handsome - i like his style and Jessie and her boys are beautiful as always. (Don't worry - i'm the furthest thing from a home-wrecker, like a sea cucumber or something- the asexual ones.) :o)

    That's a familiar scene! Haven't been hunting, or involved with any meat processing in a few years but i've been teaching Tater to hunt sheds lately. She's been doing great finding ones i hide for her, it's been really fun. Hope she finds more!

    1. You made me giggle, Ajax. You are NOT anything like a sea cucumber.
      I suppose the whole idea of processing meat in one's own kitchen is foreign to many but to some of us, it's pretty normal.
      Go, Tater!

  4. my son, before he was sent to Iraq the second time, used to have a barbecue every spring called 'meat fest' and that's all he served, well, besides bread/buns and chips and drinks.

    1. I can dig it. For one meal? Absolutely.
      Plus. Chips are a vegetable. Trust me.

    1. Oh, Steve. You have no idea. These men either go big or go home. Or...go big while staying at home. Oh god. The more I write, the worse it sounds. You know what I mean. Right?

  6. Jessie looks like she was born for this. She's radiant.

  7. My boys adored that book and certainly WERE monkeys jumping on the bed! I love the way Jessie looks -- she's a goddess through and through.
