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)
ReplyDeleteI think spring is just about here in Michigan. We still have the remnants of the seven inches of snow we got last weekend!
ReplyDeleteI 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.
ReplyDeleteWas that a baby snake???
Tadpoles and crayfish, a tasty treat. Roasted over an open fire with a little hot sauce...YUM!!
ReplyDeleteDon'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!
ReplyDeleteI 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. :)
ReplyDeleteI love those muddy feet!
ReplyDeleteThe muddy feet are great!
