More Farm Fun

Early this morning, Aidan and I went out to the Brozik's because they were receiving a load of pigs!

 These babies, just weaned from mama, arrive in a big trailer.

 Sue and Dan know exactly how to shoo them into the barn - they are so efficient!

 Dan counts out 26 at a time, and Sue puts them into the pens.

The bravest pig goes first into unknown territory!  It started to thunderstorm while they were unloading so the pigs were extra scared...and wet.  It's a good thing the barn is heated to over 80 degrees...just like their warm mama and siblings.

Aidan wasn't too sure about the little pig; he wouldn't even make eye contact with it!

 But he did like to watch them at eye level.  As long as they don't come too close...

Bye bye piggies!  Enjoy your new home.

They will stay here for a few weeks and then go to the "finishing" portion of the barn.  And you know what that means...soon they'll end up on your plate.

Now all our clothes are in the washer and I need to reshower!  Whew - how stinky!  Thanks, Dan & Sue, for showing us your operation; we were very impressed and had so much fun!

On another note, be praying for Erin Fray today.  This morning she had her reconstructive surgery; it is (LORD-willing) the last step in her breast cancer journey.  If you haven't been following her story, there's a link to her blog (Joy in the Journey) to the right.  She is such an inspiration - truly rejoicing in the midst of her suffering.
