and so you spoke the truth, there are lots of pigs among us and not the cute ones like these are. these look like hand carved and they are beautiful. I like the dark behind them. i see a cute pink nose on the little one. I like pigs to
I am becoming quite fond of them, and I think it all started when I got a pig with wings that has the saying "It is said it will happen when pigs fly" that got me started. I hope you're having an enjoyable week! :-)
Cute little pigs, Jo.... I used to have a HUGE Pig Piggybank when I was a child... It took me FOREVER to fill it... BUT-- when I wanted all of those coins, we had to break that piggybank... I cried since I had become attached to that pig.
He was a witty old fellow wasn't he! I love pigs too...I think I need a pig ornament in my garden...when I have a garden that is. Enjoy your day Jo....Maura :)

Contentment is not the fulfillment of what we want,
but the realization of how much we already have.
Where we love is home - home that our feet may leave, but not our hearts.

Now winter nights enlarge
This number of their hours;
And clouds their storms discharge
Upon the airy towers.
Let now the chimneys blaze
And cups o'erflow with wine,
Let well-tuned words amaze
With harmony divine...

"Tell you what I like the best --

'Bout the time strawberries melts
On the vine, -- some afternoon
Like to jes' git out and rest,
And not work at nothin' else!"

In all the ways you can,
In all the places you can,

To all the people you can,
As long as ever you can.”

Question not, but live and Labour Till yon goal be won, Helping every feeble neighbour, Seeking help from none; Life is mostly froth and bubble, Two things stand like stone, Kindness in another's trouble, Courage in your own.

As a son of a pig farmer I have so many memories about this animal. Your two little pigs are neat.
I am becoming quite fond of them, and I think it all started when I got a pig with wings that has the saying "It is said it will happen when pigs fly" that got me started. I hope you're having an enjoyable week! :-)
Winston Churchill got it right.
I like those Pigs that you can pick up an rattle coins inside.
Cute little pigs, Jo.... I used to have a HUGE Pig Piggybank when I was a child... It took me FOREVER to fill it... BUT-- when I wanted all of those coins, we had to break that piggybank... I cried since I had become attached to that pig.
Love the quote by Churchill.

He was a witty old fellow wasn't he! I love pigs too...I think I need a pig ornament in my garden...when I have a garden that is. Enjoy your day Jo....Maura :)
I love the pig in "Toy Story 3" too. He's so cute, and he reminds me of the big wooden guy. If you haven't seen it yet, I hope you will enjoy it!!
The verse about the pigs made me chuckle it is so true. You little pigs are so cute.
I have not seen that quote about a pig before. I loved the movie Pig you know the little pink thing, like the little monkey said.
I like these pigs you have here...but at the fair this week-end with real pigs...well, I think yours here in this post are mighty fine.
God bless,
