Well, Spring is finally here! I look around and see all the new life and it makes me appreciate the beauty of a God-designed world all over again. Daffodils are up and bulbs are growing as well - I even put new mulch in the front :) My husband has been enjoying all the new life as well. As soon as Spring "sprung" he sat down at the computer and ordered a black angus to be slaughtered. This Saturday we'll go to pick up our meat. Now he's looking at hogs......... All the while, I sit and think of names for these creatures in hopes that if it becomes personalized he won't want to have it slaughtered...no such luck. I have to admit though, I am looking forward to having a year's worth of quality beef in our freezer chest. I just didn't want to have to see what Buddy looked like before he got wrapped in white paper and labeled...
It's going to be a busy week. Steph leaves for her band trip to Chicago tomorrow morning at 5:30 a.m. I often wonder why they can't leave at 7 or 8....always 5:30....and of course I have to go up there because I have to personally deliver her luggage to the bus so they know that I "searched" it. Why can't I search it at home the night before and cover it in duct tape? One more year of this and then I'll be missing it...or not. Jess goes to her dad this weekend so that 2 out of 3. Bailey will be around but he usually stays in his room. It is nice when we can get him out though. Perhaps he can come help us get Buddy...er....the meat....and then we can have some friends over to hang on the deck, assuming it will be nice out....This meat thing has me a little freaked out -- OK -- a lot freaked out. I wonder if when I get to the meat place I'll walk in and see cows dangling from the ceiling? Will there be people outside leading a line of cattle in there like what the Nazis did to the Jews as the were led to the gas chamber? I shudder at the thought and I'm not quite sure how to prepare for this experience...
Well, have a blessed day everyone!
