Today I thought I would introduce you to the wonderful world of farm life. Yes, farm life everyone. I guess I should update a few of you since I'm oh so bad at keeping in touch. Well you see after my adventures in the big C.Dot (Cambridge) I moved back home-ish onto a farm. I have always loved the country but I never would have imaged in a billion-and-five-years how much I would miss the city. I do miss it though. Now I'm living on a good ol' dirt filled concession road on a very stinky beef farm. There's more than those big beef cows though. There are some pigs too and lots and lots of cats. There's always lots of work to be done though.
But it's time for another adventure story from our lives here on the farm. Last week while I was making cookies I looked out my big ol' kitchen window. It was raining pretty hard outside so when I first saw this little figure run by I thought I was seeing things. So I looked out the window once again. I didnt' see anything for a couple minutes...and then there it was. Another flash of a little figure. It looked like it was the size of a little puppy but we don't have any puppies here.
Ryan and I went outside. As I looked down the laneway and around the yard I saw all these little hoof prints all over the place. What a sight. That's when I finally realized what the blurry figure was. Only it wasn't one... it was 15 little piglets running around like the wind in the ran. They were sniffing, and snorting, and squiling with joy. Each one enjoying the rain and mud puddles. Well Ryan wasn't as happy seeing the piglets out and about as I was. He started to chase the little guys up towards the barn. Then I began to laugh so hard my stomach started to ache. Ryan was still chasing the little piggies while I stood there laughing myself silly. The little guys were out running him. I never knew how fast they were until then. Finally, I calmed myself down and began to help out. Ryan and I finally chased all the little guys back into the barn. Silly little pigs....they opened to gate and got out again that night. The second time we realized what they did and finally fixed it. Smart piggies.
