It is snowing and I am SO glad. I am always happy when it snows. I love the beauty. But this morning I have practical reasons to be thankful: the new snow is hiding our mess from butchering. We butchered a steer on Tuesday and our barnyard looked like the scene of a slasher film. For some unknown reason, they dragged the steer about 60 feet from where they shot him and there is a blood trail 2 feet wide and 60 feet long. Not to mention the 6ft by 10 ft spot where they bled him out. Gross. I thought I was going to have to look at that for weeks. Now it has all disappeared under clean, fresh snow. Kind of like our sins. I am always amazed when the Lord gives me a "visual" like that.
Wash me, and I shall be whiter than snow. Ps 51:7b
Wow! What a project to butcher a steer! We do deer and goats but they are only 1/4 of the size of a steer, I couldn't imagine. How wonderful, you'll be able to get your choice cut! The jack rabbit stew sounds wonderful also. We'll have to try it.
