Day Begins

"As the leaves blow in the cool fall air, I am reminded that winter will soon be here. The hay is stored in the barn, the firewood in the shed, and meat and produce preserved, I feel secure. My family sleeps as I kindle a fire in the cookstove. The kitchen warms. Fresh eggs and milk, bacon for breakfast. I am a father, husband, farmer, hunter and provider. Another day has begun." RW

Waiting on the Pigs

Now here I am, a real Farmer, if there ever was one, raising our own milk, meat and vegetables, just carrying on like many generations before. Jack of all trades, but maybe a master of none, and here comes some pigs and its got me looking like a fool. Are the sows expecting? Or are they just fat? Who knows. But for sure when something happens, I'll let you know. We'll either be getting some more bacon or we'll be having some piglets for sale. Just waiting and watching now.
