The Adventures of Kevin Bacon continued...

Since spring seems to have sprung early here in SWVA, Kevin has become an outdoor pig sooner than expected.  He is particularly fond of sunbathing...

This is what I found when I went into the downstairs bathroom...

It finally snowed!  We got around six inches of snow here today and it is absolutely B-E-A-UTIFUL!  I snapped this photo today as it was coming down.  The bad part is we are forecast to be in the upper 40s tomorrow so it won't last long. 

The Turtleman

This doesn't have anything to do with our farm, but it does have to do with animals so I guess that counts.  And Kentucky - if you know my family you know that counts too! 

If you ever catch a show called "Call of the Wildman" on Animal Planet, be sure to watch a few moments.  You'll just love the Turtleman...

Cracker Candy

My Granny Margaret is one of the best cooks ever.  I know lots of grandmas are good cooks, but I was blessed with two of the best!  It's no surprise that I call her up when I need an idea of something to make for a potluck.  She sent me this recipe a few years ago, and it has become a reliable dish for any type of function.  It's quick, easy, and oh so goooood!

You will need:

saltine crackers
1 cup butter (not margarine)
1 cup brown suger
1 (12 oz) bag milk chocolate morsels

Preheat oven to 400 degrees.  Line a cookie sheet with foil.  Layer saltines on sheet.  In a saucepan, melt butter and brown sugar.  Bring to a boil and cook for 3 minutes.  Spread over crackers and bake for 5 minutes.  Sprinkle morsels over crackers and let stand 5 minutes before spreading.  Cool in refrigerator until hard. 

Remove from foil and break into pieces.

Enjoy!
