a long day

and I spent most of it covered in cow shit and boar's blood.  Since Bobolink doesn't bake on Monday or Tuesday, I spent the morning, afternoon, and most of the evening doing a number of the infinite miscellaneous chores that exist on a farm.  Herding, milking, cheese salting.  Being kicked, lifted, and constantly defecated upon.  And the final insult is having to take a snow shovel and clean up all the excrement that didn't land on my body or clothing.  I also spent around an hour picking the hair off of the boar meat that I cut yesterday.  After finishing around 6:00 I walked off into the woods to look for morels, finding a small handful.  Really looking forward to the bake room tomorrow even if I have to start at 5.
