Soy bean harvest October 6, 2008Today is the day! The day that we are going to get the roosters and rabbits butchered. Hopefully it will not take too long. The chickens are going to be skinned (along with the rabbit). It just takes too much time to scald them and do the plucking, plus its just downright smelly! But I think that I have written about that before. Food was withheld last night so their systems should be pretty well cleaned out. Just like if you have surgery or some other kind of Doctors appointment and they ask you not to eat after midnight. That way your system will be cleaned out, basically so the food can pass through your body. We will probably have to do the deed in the barn since its supposed to rain today, we cannot put it off any longer. Well at least I dont want to....but I cannot butcher them myself. Well, I probably could but its much better to work as a team and get it done. I will let you know how it goes, wish us luck, on tomorrows posting. So, last night I was putting away leftovers from dinner. Gad, I feel something in my hair...I brush it out thinking that it is a lady bug. I look down into the bowl of refried beans and GAG it is a big brown disgusting hairy spider. I start yelling, ah that was in my hair. Something that I despise is spiders. I know, I know they do have a place where they fit into our world, but being in my hair or my house for that matter is not one of them.
