Full Pink Moon

Tonite, April 25, 2013 will be the night of the Full Pink Moon.

Named the Pink Moon because it heralded the appearance of the moss pink, or wild ground phlox-one of the first spring flowers.

Others names are Full Sprouting Grass Moon (yep that would be my yard), Full Egg Moon, Full Fish Moon.

I wonder if it is called Full Egg Moon because chickens start laying more? Thoughts on this chicken gals?

And maybe it was called Full Fish Moon because fish become active? Our pond is getting active. We are starting to see more fish swimming and yesterday a fish jumped out to catch a bug. Never get to see them but we do hear them do this.

Just might be something to these other names.....

Have a great night, go out and check that moon out, I know I will.

 



First Auction of the Year

What were they thinking is what you are probably asking yourselfs. But, all in all, the snow stopped here at about 11: 30 or so, then the sun came out and out we went. Now going into this we knew it was not going to be an all day auction, but we were out of there in less then two hours. Most of the items were outside, do I hear a Brrr? But, that was okay what we wanted was outside and we knew once we got what we went for we were out of there!! So, what did we get besides, cold hands, cold feet and runny noses? Not a whole heck of alot. We did get a four gallon crock, small chip on the rim, but it sounds & looks good. And then got a pair of white wooden goat cart wheels. Original paint still in good shape. And that my friends was it. I did try for a raised three panel shutter (only one) but it was in real good shape and our decorators who purchase from us would have scooped it up in a minute. But, I stopped at $20.00 and it kept on going. In all honesty there was not much else, but people were spending their Christmas money, like there would never be another Christmas. Have a great weekend.

Chicken Dinner

Good Saturday Evening All, I had to post and tell you about the great dinner (if I say so myself) that we had. I picked up a Oven Ready Perdue Chicken Breast the other day and thought that I would give it a try. Here is the best part (I think) you can roast this chicken while it is frozen!! It comes in what I think looks like a bowling bag, with Perdue's yellow and blue colors on the bag. The chicken is inside of this bag in a roasting bag all seasoned.  You place the frozen chicken in a baking pan for 2 1/4 to 2 1/2 hours at 400 degrees, let it rest for 10 minutes and then enjoy. It was sooooo good, the skin on the breast got nice and crispy and the seasonings were good. I added to the chicken to round out the meal, stuffing, green beans, cranberry sauce and hot biscuits. Les said he could eat this meal every week!! I forgot to mention that the chicken breat was 3#'s whihc was plenty for us with some leftovers. I hope everyoine is enjoying their weekend. It has been very, very cold here in PA, suppose to get better just in time for everyone to go back to work. Can Spring be that far away??
