EXACTLY how we wanted to spend the morning-except not really.

by Karmen |

“YOUR PIGS ARE OUT!” was exactly what this homeschool mom wanted to hear on a frigid February morning last week with the cowboy working the store instead the farm…..

“LET’S GO BOYS..” was the rally when a reassuring hand flew into the air followed by,  “Don’t worry mom.  Me and daddy fooled with this yesterday-  I know just what to do.” Johnny quick..-  little “Jack” was out the door & saddled on the four wheeler –

The little rascal and I jumped in the car, headed down the drive in search of roadside pig tracks…No sign of them until we pulled into grandmomma’s drive..#yikes

Signs of feverous rooting e.v.e.r.y.w.h.e.r.e

“THEY’RE DOWN HERE!”  was the echo from the woods

Quick like a cat (except not really because I’m not quick like that.. more turtle-ish really..especially in February but annyyways)

I scurried past the frustrated grandmomma towards little “Jack’s” voice..

“Jack”,ever-so calm and cool (just like his daddy) walked the misplaced pigs from the yard to the wrong pen to the right pen…while the little rascal worked diligently-stomping the soft plugs of uprooted turf back into place….

With the restoration of grandmomma’s yard, the pigs escorted back to the barn lot, the rascals and I returned home to finish their schoolwork –just in time to receive the afternoon call…

“YOUR PIGS ARE OUT!”

happy Monday y’all

Hope is was a good one
