We went out to my cousin Beth's farm last week. Tilly got to meet the pig that we'll have in our freezer next fall. She also let a calf eat out of her hand. I was so proud of her for that. We saw Beth, Craig, Erin, Mark, Crystal and Dusty (as well as Mac the dog, tons of cats, and said pigs and cows). It is always so nice, so refreshing to get out to their farm. I have incredibly warm memories of staying of their as a kid. I hope Tilly gets a chance to experience something like that someday so she never forgets where our milk, beef, pork, etc., come from. It's hard being a farmboy dad raising a daughter in the city. I am doing my best.
