Red farrowed 2 days ago. Patch followed last night. I have 3 pregnant gilts - one may be due on or around April 2. But I have no more farrowing pens ready. Get to work!!!
We also are suddenly back in eggs, gathering 2 dozen last night. But we haven't finished the new chicken coop we want to move 2 groups into together. More work!!
We 1/2 butchered a large hog on Saturday - the other half is on ice and will get done Thursday this week - I hope!
The garden is going in slowly. Corn was planted last week. I have had broccoli, kale and Brussel sprouts in for a few weeks and more started along with some spinach. I planted a few peas on Saturday. I started Roma and cherry tomatoes this weekend. I need to remember to bring all the starters in today as we are having another cold snap this week.
This all sounds like a lot of work, but it is a most satisfying kind of work, especially when done with together with family.
There seems there is never enough time in the Spring to get everything done (still cutting wood for next winter) but God gives us just enough time if we use it wisely. I pray I do.
We are doing a novena to St. Joseph - what happens if you miss a day? God is not an accountant, but ....
Oremus pro invicem!
