Right now I am dreaming about spring gardens.
And reading … Eden Seeds
Right now I am trying to come up with meal ideas for when we have no kitchen.

Right now I’m trying to convince my husband we should get pigs.
And reading… Piglets For Sale
What is in your head right now?
I have too much going on in my head and not enough time. I am thinking about how surely by now they would have found some sort of way that we could freeze time :S Ooh, piglets are so cute (although I’m guessing you’re not after them for the cuteness lol)
We have pigs -they are cute when they are little, and tasty when they grow up! Don’t name them though!
I don’t even like pork… but I still want pigs!
I can see the advantage of them being able to turn over our heavy soils and the fact that they don’t need a huge space… not sure how we’d fence them in at the moment though…
maybe one day…
Where to begin? Trying to figure out ways of making our days less of a struggle… what to plant in one of my vegetable beds… do I have the energy to plan and cook a Christmas in July/August, though I really want one… and dreaming about a little break just the two of us in October – first holiday in years!
Love that photo!
that’s our falling down front gate post… looks much prettier in the picture than in real life LOL
Oh, i want pigs too…just not sure what to do with them lol! Are you still without a kitchen…i thought you had done that already!!! I found the BBq very helpful when we did our kitchen…but that was in Summer…..sorry!!! good luck though x
Pigs!!!!
I love them. We had pigs when we lived on the farm and they are truly animals of character and contrary to popular myth very clean.
Some of my funniest memories of that time involve the antics of the sows (mothers). One, part berkshire like the piglets in the photo took off out of her pen and had her litter of 15 in the bush. It took some stalking to finally find them. My father, my three sisters and I carried all the piglets back to her paddock, the babies squealing and their mother running from one to the other of us to check we were not killing them.
We were weaning another litter and had got down to the last two gilts Dad put a bit of milk down for them and caught the piglets now about two foot long by their back legs. He headed for the gate with the screaming piglets but the mother charged him and he wound up riding the sow backwards still with a piglet in each hand. Then he fell off on his back in the mud still holding on to the piglets. My sisters and I were no help. We were in fits of laughter hiding behind the haystack.
