We had a few days of cooler weather and used our new grill to cook and spend some time out back with our dogs…and our llamas.
Due to the drought our grass is really short and since Lexus and Celia are pregnant and Sylvia is still growing we decided to let them on the backyard where the bermuda has gone crazy. They loved it and spent most of the weekend out grazing on it.
The new grill has a temperature setting which allows me to bake on it…which I did. I baked a couple loaves of banana bread on it this afternoon.
Randy put a homegrown chicken I had marinated in a lime marinade and baked beans on the smoker. They were awesome. We couldn’t believe how good everything tasted. We had cut some mulberry wood that morning to use in the smoker and hopefully this winter in the wood cookstove we have on order.
I think Hank felt a little left out with all the girls on the backyard, so we let him out the gate so he could eat leaves off the elm trees and graze all the grass just outside the lots. He was pumped.
The break from the heat was nice, but we are gearing up again for another hot streak. Hope everyone stays cool.
