Still more snow!  Tom is ready to go out and warm up the cars.  You know it's cold outside when he pulls this out to wear!
Over the weekend we traveled into Big Town for the outdoor show.  I really didn't think I would see anything, let alone in the trapper's area.   But, lo and behold I found a surprise!   Pig scrapers!

  I was so excited and glad that Tom could pick up two.  Now we are ready for the next time we butcher.  We came home and decided to work on more of the beef.
Our friends were good to us and let us borrow their grinder for the rest of the meat we had bagged in the freezer.

Done in a matter of minutes. This is what REAL hamburg looks like!

While we were busy in the kitchen doing that, Jess was helping Collin study for his permit.

  Looks like they are quite the studious pair.  How can you go wrong with a tutor like this?

Later in the week  I got a more serious Jess studying her schoolwork.   Great hairdo.

Everyone is just killing time and  anticipating the warm weather to come.
