Another great desert day is happening here. At 7 am I headed out for my first walkabout as the sun begins to rise bringing brightness and warmth to the desert floor. Got just about 2.5 miles in and back home by 8am. Morning sunshine on our patio now with our new location, love it !

| sunrise just starting |
A bit later a quick trip in to town to fill our 5 gallon RO water jug and a few items from the Roadrunner market.
 |
| Ro water only $1.00 for 5 gallons |
Just puttering around and a couple more walkabouts then a light tasty lunch. Right after that I did a drive about over to Tyson Wash LTVA another great area to camp that I have been thinking about and we will get to at some point.
Now to enjoy a wonderful sunny warm day reading in the shade , actually half shade and half sun, only 67 f today but too hot in the sun and too cool in the shade, this works for us.

Spatchcock Chicken, hmm, looks good, George!
ReplyDeleteAnother great day in the desert. :)
Yes Patsy it was a tasty chicken and another great day.
DeleteEvery time I see chicken at 77¢/lb or even 99¢/lb, I remember how much it cost to raise chickens on our farm. Can't compete with that price.
ReplyDeleteThat is so true Bill, don't know how they do it , must be selling at a loss.
DeleteLooks like another nice day in the desert.
ReplyDeleteYes Larry it sure was a wonderful desert day.
DeleteHmmmm I'll need to find a good pair of kitchen shears. It looks delicious! Glad the weather has been holding nice.
ReplyDeleteThis worked pretty good Nancy, pretty well cut the cooking time in half.
DeleteNow I've learned a new word --- Spatchcock Chicken. Love the warm weather and love the many Happy Hours everywhere.
ReplyDeleteNice to learn new things, the chicken turned out perfect. Not sure where that word came from but interesting just the same. Yes love the warm weather , sunshine and good times.
DeleteWhat a beautiful day! Great looking Happy Hour group! Awesome looking chicken and I can see how that would cook quicker that way and it looks so yummy! Certainly a great price for chicken!
ReplyDeleteIt was a wonderful day and the chicken awesome.
DeleteA fun Happy Hour too.
Yup, can't let anything get in the way of Happy Hour, there are priorities after all! :cD
ReplyDeleteThat is right Happy hour first then cook supper, there is priorities after all.
DeleteI was scrolling down reading the blog and saw that kite... before I knew it was a kite... what the ... is that?! LOL
ReplyDeleteThis kite is in the shape of a big bird, they also have one that looks like an airplane and a few more.
DeleteThe first time I saw a chicken cooked that way was on a Bobby Flay show, "Boy meets Grill" I must try that someday. Another perfect day in the sunshine!
ReplyDeleteI have heard of them and wanted to try it out, sure cooks a lot quicker and comes out perfect !
DeleteIt was another perfect day.
Excellent food, friends and weather. You seem to have it all George.
ReplyDeleteThanks Deb it was another perfect day, no complaints here that's for sure. What more can we ask for?
