– Cold Antler Farm | A Winter Pork Harvest
A really gorgeous and moving post about a first-time pig slaughter from one of my favorite blogs. If you aren’t reading Jenna Woginrich’s ongoing tales of becoming a homesteader in rural New York, you are missing all kinds of beauty and toughness...

knowing that we may never
get around to it, it may be
years before we’re both
idle again on the same day.
But we make a plan, anyhow,
in honor of friendship
and the fine spring weather
and the new boat
and our sudden thought
of the water shining
under the morning...

AND YES:
sadydoyle:
I know; Apatow is doing Movies With Ladies In Them now. Yayyyy, us. Because if people call you a misogynist for half a decade, you’re going to start doing damage control. I’m sure “Bridesmaids” will basically be the “Our Bodies, Ourselves” of comedy. But, yes: Throw some money at the ladies, Judd. That’s a start. And now, about Drillbit Taylor…

(via The Hairpin)
We’re getting hitched at a historic residence that used to be the site of the town’s big swimming hole, a lake that was drained and filled in after a young family resident drowned in it. The potential for a drowny ghost-kid interrupting our nuptials is enough for me, thanks, but I know Joe would be way way into a funewedding if I wasn’t such a death-wimp. SORRY...

Everyone in Atlanta is out sledding today, but I...
That the last time I went sledding was, I think, about fifteen years ago when a big ice storm hit Chattanooga, and all the families on my block were out sledding on the decently-sloped hill in front of my parents’ house, and the boys across the street were doing this trick where they swerved around this one family’s mailbox/flowerbed and then back out into the road, and I tried to do...
