Finally....Some Farm Action!

Remember back when I went to that garage sale...met a nice mom that invited us to play with her pigs? Well, we finally made it over there today. Very interesting! They breed pigs for slaughter. She has 4 kids, 8 dogs, 4 horses, and plenty of pigs. One of them is actually due to deliver this weekend. I asked her to call me so I could watch. I'll keep my fingers crossed. They have 44 acres. Amazing. My children were very well behaved. I was proud. I would say the "city" in them shined bright. At one point they were throwing clumps of mud when the little girl said "I wouldn't touch that....It's cow poop." HAHA! I will confess, my kids were a bit wimpy in comparison to hers. My son, #3, got a splinter there, you'd have thought his finger got ripped off. Geez! I need to start working on my kids having country confidence and manners. We all got along pretty well. It was pleasant. I have to say I was a bit intimidated. I long to be a horse-riding, boot wearing, country farm girl. However, at this point I am far from it. I felt naïve and out of my element. I fought hard to not judge. There definitely is a difference between real country folk and city folk. I would really like to be friends with them. They could teach me a lot. It was awesome to spend some time on a real farm. Someday, I'll have one too!
