By the time you get home, the wife and the youngest children should have the crop-patch weeded, so the potatoes, pumpkins, beans, peas, cabbages, and cucumbers can get the sunlight and soil they need. You feel happy. The young ones love fresh pork. They'll be so proud to see the young hog you'll be bringing back to the house, and the wife will give you one of her slow, quiet smiles. It may not be an easy way to go, farming this virgin forest land, but you are content.
Life is good.
