Day Six, (A Mighty Fortress)

Day 6 No sugar or dairy During these last few weeks several scary storms have popped up in our “neck of the woods.”  They aided in finding that our backdoor had a leak, and our yard’s large sinkhole, they caused internet outages, sometimes for days, along with power outages, but, thankfully, not for long periods … Continue reading Day Six, (A Mighty Fortress)

A Pig’s Snout

Every excursion to the farm in Newport, North Carolina, brings an up-close adventure in pig life where the smells are strong and distasteful!

I can relate to a scene in the movie, Parental Guidance (2012) with Billy Crystal and Bette Midler. When the granddaughter, Harper, tastes sugar for the first time, she becomes aware of the sugary goodness her parents have been keeping from her.
