Working when I am not...

I took yesterday off because I thought I was supposed to be helping the Boy Scouts with a project. At the last minute they changed the plans on me and I found myself with a day off. We loaded the kids up and went for a long drive. Along the way we found a good deal on a huge bag of sweet corn. For $18 we brought home 65 ears of corn. Today I knew exactly what was in store for me and didn't quit moving all day. My wife and I husked, blanched, cut, and froze all of the corn. We then moved on to canning beans and potatoes that we had harvested in the garden. Our entire day has been spent on some form of food preservation. Tomorrow I will spend the afternoon working with the Boy Scouts on the project that was supposed to take place on Friday. I will have spent every minute of my time off working harder than I do at work.
