Spring arrivals

Woke up this morning to find our new litter of 15 pigs! Hopefully Polly will be a good mother - usually she is.

Our game hen hatched 5 chicks last week. Garden is slow due to lingering cold weather, but we have had some broccoli and lettuce.

Oremus pro invicem!

How do you want to live?

This is the question asked and answered (below) over at Country Will Always Be Home. I am  humbled by the wisdom dispensed by this young man. Read everything he writes. (Besides, I like the pictures. They remind me of home!)

You can follow the current and live a dull, predetermined course. You can seek financial, political and social stability. You can spend pointless endless hours on Netflix, social media, gaming, and small talk. You can be that object, floating downstream, unaware of where it is headed but thinking it is comfortable going wherever the current drags it. But if you choose that path, no one will recognize the life within you.

He is risen!

An update: A new link appears on the list in the sidebar. Yet another offspring of mine has decided to blog: Man of the Southern Woods
