Despite the picture above things are starting to dry up around here. Yesterday I was able to walk our trail with the dogs to the back of our land without getting soaked. I still had to wear my hiking boots but not my knee highs. I did
not come back clean by any means but that would be
NO fun!
A couple days ago the ice went out in the ponds and the peepers started peeping. Such a
wonderful thing! My boy was right out there knee deep for the first time this season.
The kids caught a few critters.
Tonight I was looking through my pictures of the pig processing and I was thinking about how to break it up into posts. Should I start from the
beginning with a few pictures of Maine Man skinning it? (which is
not the traditional way to deal with a pigs hide) Then have him explain his
technique etc and go on from there? Or should I skip the
gory details and just go to the the meat processing? What do you think?

I vote skip the gore - because I'd have to pay somebody to skin mine. :o)
I think spring is just about here in Michigan. We still have the remnants of the seven inches of snow we got last weekend!
I love all the details about farm life. Post away to your heart's content!
Catching crawfish (crayfish, crawdads, etc.) is a rite of passage.
I'd like to see it. Its interesting to see how its done.
Was that a baby snake???
Tadpoles and crayfish, a tasty treat. Roasted over an open fire with a little hot sauce...YUM!!
Don't skip a thing, I want to learn how it's done. If you must, post a warning first, but don't leave out a single detail!
I think you should post whatever you want to, and warn folks who are faint of heart that the reading might get a little rough up ahead! Happy Easter!
I say go for all the details. There are enough out here that want to learn new techniques and those that don't can skim by that part. :)
I love those muddy feet!
The muddy feet are great!
