2013 the daily post - photo journal
2013 begins my 5th year at doing a, somewhat daily post. This gallery is what I like to call a "photo journal" documenting the little things that are happening in my little section of the world. I can't say from day to day, what the image or what my message will be; it's the pot-luck of image galleries. Feel free to "share" with your friends, the more the merrier. Thank you for your support and ENJOY!

04.23.13 = This little Piggy
Well unfortunately, this little piggy will go to market. This is the last year my nephew will be participating in 4H with his market hogs. They raise and care for them and get them all fattened up for the fair and their final showing in July. The kids compete and show them in the ring. They are judged on showmanship, the size of the pig… One of the last nights of the fair, buyers come in and bid on all the hogs by the pound. The money he has earned over the past several years will come in handy for his freshman year in college this fall. What a great experience and appreciation for the cycle of life he has learned.

on April 24, 2013Those eyes make you think. I know that if I had to kill my own meat I'd be a vegetarian, we get very detached from our food supply at times. But at least some animals have better lives than others before the inevitable
