We have been busy here, baby sitting, trying to recover from reactions to the flu shot. No more for us. I would rather have the flu. We are functioning do something constructive one day and exhausted the next.
We did spend the weekend at a friends butchering 2 hogs. He has all the toys to do it. A walk in cooler, saws, grinder, tenderizer, all the wrapping items. They had been hung to cool for two days so Saturday we cut and wrapped and Sunday we made sausage. Doing this is not hard physical labor, and the end product is worth it.
He had just processed 4 hogs the weekend before, so he has been super busy. We are just grateful we have a friend like him. This time I came out of the endeavor without any knife cuts.
I have been busy all month cooking and freezing meals ahead. Our family has been hit hard by the illnesses this year and pre-made meals were getting low in the freezer. We have had everything from scarlet fever, flu, and one broken arm. So it is time to restock.
I am trying to reorganize here and get ready for gardening season. There are days I think spring is too far away and then we will get a warm beautiful day. At least we are closer to spring now than we were in November.
