And The Answer Is....

Laziness!

Those of you who guessed correctly will be receiving your $1000 cash prize via express mail. If I ever get around to it.

And it's not as though I haven't been thinking of you all. When I woke up The Governor for school one morning and he hollered, "Get your hands off me, woman!", I thought it had the makings of a semi-amusing post. But I had other things to do and when I sat down a day or two later, the moment had passed. One day it could have been a three-paragraph belly-laugher; today it barely squeaks by as a partial-sentence smirk.

Some good news: pigs have arrived! I wasn't even aware we were getting more pigs, but we have eight of the little porkers running around the pen. I don't know what excites me more: the thought of a freezer full of sausage and pork chops or the knowledge that, come September, I'm going to have some gruesome photo-blogging opportunities.

Oooh. I almost forgot. The cattle come in another week or so. Four steers who will, like their porcine brothers, become freezer filler this fall. The Outpost will be safely out of reach of the supermarket's E.coli ground chuck.

Barring the outbreak of some other sort of disease or pestilence, I hope to be posting again soon. Check back in a week. If I can find my camera, I'll try to include some livestock photos. The "before" pictures are always a lot cuter than the "after" shots.

P.S. to Uncle Terry: Thanks again for entertaining the boys so much during your visit. We all miss you already. We wish you could have been here as well, Aunt Charlotte!
