Farm Life


     Just wanted to share some pictures with you of our pig "Pork Chop".  He has gotten BIG!  From snout to his rump, he is about 5 feet long.  I wish pics would show how really big he is but these will have to do.  We had planned on taking him to the butcher this week but just found out that they are not taking any more animals until January so we will fatten him up some more.

    Here is our dog, Sheera.  Sheera is so protective of our family and our property.  She has an invisible barrier and if any animal crosses it, she takes care of it.  Poor possums have trouble knowing where the boundary is so we get a lot of dead ones around here.  :-)

     Here is our 14 year old son doing some farm chores.  He loves to chop firewood.  Caught him in the act.
