Tossing Pebbles in the Stream

This blog is my place to sit and toss pebbles into the stream. The stream of Life relentlessly passing before us. We can affect it little. For the most part I just watch it passing and follow the flow. Occasionally, I need to comment on its passing, tossing a pebble at it to enjoy the ripple affect upon Life's surface.

Out for A Root Around

After three weeks of being penned up. Ruby and her herd got a chance to root around the yard with the warmer weather and the snow melted away.

A puddle is a fascination.

Ruby has lost her girlish figure, the price of motherhood.

The little ones will try for an early dinner if Ruby will stand still long enough.

Heidi elegantly looks on.

The piglets are so cute and Heidi is a handsome dog.

You should get some fine pork chops off those piglets one day. I enjoyed seeing them. How is the Runt.

Blessings,
Mary

You see I love seeing the piggies, they look so excited but I find it hard to think of them as pork chops! (Mary - you made me chuckle a bit, but you are right of course)

I think Heidi must have been a dancer in a former life. She's so regal.

I cradled piglets as though they were babies!
And I always loved gooing to the pig sty to check out all the hogs.
Heidi--love the way she crosses her front paws.
