We should go inside and get a cup of tea or coffee, since it's so cold outside. Wendell can just watch through the window. Speaking of Wendell, I just came back from a walk to the barn to give him his carrot, laced with his medicine. It's quite ingenious to carve a small hole in a carrot and load it with his pills. He loves carrots so much, he'd swallow a Volkswagen if you could fit it in a carrot! :) Back to my story. As I entered the dark barn, I had to walk from the first section of stalls, through the feed room. I had to open a huge door that won't open very wide (think thin) and step over a wooden stoop. When I entered that part of the barn, I heard load noises. Thankfully I had a flashlight. Our six pink piglets (big piglets- teenagers for pigs) were sleeping in a pile. They were snoring quite loud. It clicked in my brain that hubby had moved the pigs to that barn. It was a bit of a surprise hearing the loud snores that sounded like growls, before I realized what was going on. We've been  waiting patiently for Hildegard, the sheep, to give birth. When doing routine chores, the farmer discovered that Winnie, the sheep, had a newborn white lamb by her side. She was pregnant? This ewe is so fuzzy, you couldn't tell. It's funny how those things happen. QUESTIONS

1. Who has the most outgoing personality in your family?
2. How did you name your blog?
3. What's your favorite topping for ice cream?
4. Tell me about someone you know who would make a wonderful character for a book. Oops- please.
5. Please tell me up to three questions that you think I should ask on future farmhouse chats.

My answers:

1. Me. I think my youngest child would qualify for that distinction too.
2. We are a farm family, so "rural" fit. I had an idea of farm royalty, so I merged some words and came up with Ruralty. It's my day to day life, hence Everyday. Everyday Ruralty- voila!
3. More ice cream? Carrots? Hush, Wendell. It's my ice cream! I love hot fudge on ice cream. I also like strawberry sauce or fresh berries.
4. My girls have an elderly "uncle" who tends to fall asleep when he visits. When the girls were very little, they'd put play jewelry, hats, boas, and other things from their dress up box on him while he was snoozing. They waited so patiently for him to wake up, not knowing what to expect. He laughed when he figured out what they'd done. He then asked them for their dress-up box, where he found a tutu. He slid it on over his clothes and picked up a wand. From that time on, he was known as the "Farm Fairy". I have a bunch of pictures of him in this outfit, but he wouldn't want me to put that on my blog. I forgot to tell you that he's bald as a billiard ball. My sister used red yarn and made him a wig, so next time he came to visit, he wore the wig. He also has an elaborate crown that he wears to visit the  farm. Tell me this guy wouldn't make a great character!
5. Uh-Uh! I asked first! I will try to use some of your questions for our chat, but I may not use all of them.:)
