Meet Baby Cary
+of+copy+3+ayib.JPG "The Year is over, but we're still baking!")
Nearly everyone dreams of moving to the country at some point, but few people are crazy enough to actually do it. I'm one of those few. In 1994, when I was 26, I sold my little bakery cafe, packed up 200 boxes of books & antiques, & waved goodbye to my native California. Armed with a very basic knowledge of gardening, an overenthusiastic sense of adventure, & lots of naivete, I ended up on a 280-acre, 140-year-old farm in the middle of nowhere. I became cook, gardener, shepherd, farmhand, vet, surrogate mom, wildlife expert, sheep midwife & animal undertaker. My prep school education & graphic design background were useless. I went from attending restaurant openings & gallery receptions to working the rural fire dept's BBQ booth at the crafts fair & munching fried pies at country auctions. Nine years ago I moved to an even more remote 240-acre farm which I share with sheep, chickens, 4 dogs, 9 cats, 5 very entertaining donkeys, & one really well fed farmguy. My life revolves around food.

It spoke to you, right? I mean it looks like Babe. That'll do pig.
And here I was wondering where Charlotte might be hiding... Beautiful pig.
Look Out! It's a future Hogzilla!
What a charming little guy! I can see how you would want to smuggle him home.
So lovely!
As a child I raised a little cutie (named Snoopy) like him by bottle. Hmmmm....makes me nostagic & miss the farm.
Love your blog! Takes me back....
Awwww he's too sweet!
Oh my!
Baaaa-Ram-U!
Pretty in Pink!
Too cute!
Tootles,
Anni :-)
Piggy as a picture. :)
BABE!
I really appreciate your blog. Beautiful pics!
See ya
Oh c'mon...you should bring home just one piglet, a lifelong friend for Cary!
i'm with skilz, it's unreal that something so cute can turn into such a monster!!
but seriously, what a cutie...
What an adorable little urchin. Can you imagine what life would be like with him underfoot??? I would have been tempted, too, but since you have Cary, you're all set!

So cute I just to squeeze it.
Is that wrong?
can't...take...anymore...cuteness. ...will...explode...
Ohh I would have had to have that little guy!
He could have helped out showing you where there were weak places in your fencing!
See what you missed?
now he could have been another terror in the garden for you! and they root up EVERYTHING IN SITE!
Never thought I would ever smile seeing a pig...on a pc screen! You did it again.
Hi there, I just discovered your site and have marked it as a favorite. Your photos are fantastic and your photo of 7/8/06 of the blue butterfly on a cone flower (Echinachea) was stunning!!
Take care and keep up the posts...
Oh, my favorite! I raised pigs as a kid and even bottle fed a few. So cute!!
my son would love it!
How adorable!
I love visiting your site. You have such wonderful pictures!
I want that piglet.
For a pet.
Problem is, my husband will want to turn him into bacon.

There is no way I'd get away without taking that pig with me. He's scary cute.

I love baby pigs!!! I can understand that you could have taken that cute piggy back home; I would have felt the same if I had seen this adorable creature...
Wilbur!
Babe!
Now I'm going to go watch the movie again.........
Awww! He's so cute!
Charlotte's Web was one of my favorite books growing up. However, I'm also severely arachnaphobic. Go figure!
