Okay, Folks. I don't know how many of you have butchered a pig yourselves. We haven't. We won't be able to say that after today! We were able to get a really good deal on 2 small pigs. They were already killed and gutted when Hubby went to pick them up last night. We left them out in his truck overnight to cool, and today we are spending the time cutting it up: hams, chops, ribs, roasts, and we borrowed an electric grinder for making sausage and burger!
So...we are learning a little bit of self-sufficiency on Sacred Heart Farm. It is nice to know that if we hunt or raise animals for meat, we know how to get it from the "hoof" to the table. I am pretty proud of hubby and his ability to jump in and do the hands on work of it all. So far we have processed deer, chickens, a turkey, and now pigs. I think I will come back and post a few photos...not for the faint of heart, haha. Wilber and Babe are heading to our freezer!

A Year...Friday February 25th, 2011 9:25 pm
It is hard for my mind to comprehend that a year has passed since the most difficult day of my life, yet in other ways it has been forever since I have beheld the sweet smiles and hugs of our precious boy. The sorrow "might" not be as deep and obvious as those first days and months following his death, but there has still not been a day that has gone by when he has not been constantly on my mind. My heart still aches and , selfishly, I want him back! God has his reasons for denying us the miracle so many prayed for on that cold day in February...he chose to take our boy to him, instead. Our family must need a Saint in heaven on our side very much...that is the only miracle that is better than the one we prayed so diligently for...but that doesn't keep my heart from hurting.
