First Farm Kiss
Holy smokes, little girl. Perhaps a little less tongue next time!
I don’t know the child, the pig, or the photographer; just got this photo with an email ‘joke.’
Why does this photo crack me up every time I see it? Is it the look on the pig’s face, or on the child’s? Both seem truly enraptured with their encounter.
A photo truly is worth a thousand words, so I’ll shut up. If you’re having a bad day, just spend a minute or two gazing upon this kiss….or lick.
After twenty-five years on the farm, I’m adjusting to the adventures of city life. Part of that adjustment is figuring out what I want to write about now, since sheep are no longer part of my daily life. I’m challenging myself creatively by painting with pastels and playing the ukelele as I seek my new writing path.

Oh. My.
(And yes, I did need a laugh. Thanks 🙂
That photo is so wonderful! Thanks for sharing.
Cute photo. I have moved on from ducks to pigs and am currently reading, “The Good Good Pig” by Sy Montgomery. Its a fun book. The most favorite nursery school field trip my daughter and I went on was to a hog farm in NC. We were able to hold some babies and it was fabulous.
