KEEPING IT SAFE: In mid-February, I made a trip that reminded me for the millionth time that feeling safe is important. It was supposed to be a pleasant 3 hour drive, with 2 nice ladies and a Great Dane for company. My driver was a professional driver (literally), and she drove with evident skill and care. Food, shelter, water -- all were in place. My belly was full. I had a hot coffee in my hands. I was warm and comfortable. But... I wasn't feeling safe, and that meant all the good things didn't matter much. The iced roads were not under anyone's control.

The Pig Chase game

As someone who has lived with pigs for the last 13 years, I have to say they never fail to amuse, delight and most of all, impress me. Whether it was the litter of piglets who resided in our living room last winter for several months or the 5 bachelor boys currently in residence out in the barn, pigs are part and parcel of the farm. Hard to imagine life without them.
