Pigs are gone

On Wednesday the pigs became meat. We always feel a certain ambivalence. Part of us is glad to see these hungry, growing pushy animals go - more time and space after they leave. Part of us just misses their antics. The pigs themselves seem to know it is time, and Chris is fast and accurate with his rifle. Soon the locker will have the meat cut up for all the families, and they will know they are eating safe, healthy food.

Ken has picked rocks, leveled the area out and planted rye. When the snow melts, I will get a photo onto the blog.
