busy bees

we have worked, sweated, strained, groaned, grunted, and exhausted ourselves getting 5 cord of wood in the last 4 weeks. we have made our fingers sore picking huckleberries and chokecherries. tomorrow we will strain some more getting potatos. we have sweated while canning many quarts of beans over several weeks and 49 quarts of beets[ in the same 10 hours!] the same day.
