Today my new farm worker arrives. If all goes well she will stay a few months which will be nice. She has been working on a goat farm so I look forward to hearing her story.
We all have a story. Many of us have more than one. If you only had one word to describe yourself what would it be.
I have thought about this often and for me the word has always been ECLECTIC. I also like how the word feels when you say it out loud. It has a Click. It feels Well Read.
Of course there are two Yous. The You that you see and the You that they think they See. 
Above is a common scene here. All the young ones laying down and Lady Astor standing above them. Ready to give them a good smack if they get up from their nap too early.
There is a face inside that face. I cannot cut off that patch of loose skin on his cheek, he takes a swipe at me if I move my bandage scissors too close to his ear. We will have to wait on that one. 
My table of potions.
I hope you have a lovely day.
Love celi

I guess my word would be flotsam since it came to mind first. I know it is a marine term and means floating pieces, parts, etc., from a ship that has been wrecked and alas that is how I think my life has been. I seem to have very little control of it myself. Sometimes I feel like I am just along for the ride and must weather it as well as possible. Not a very strong word at all, but a surviving as cheerfully as possible word.
Hahaha! Flotsum! Oh Chris- that made me laugh out loud! Flotsum has a slightly off definition in the medical world and my nurse’s mind ran right to that spot when I read your word for yourself! I’m still giggling!
Perhaps in pieces… But still afloat; )
Good point Deb – definitely a plus!
Ha! For all you who feel you’re ‘detemined’… I recall my dad always saying he wasn’t at all ‘stubborn’, simply ‘determined’! And, Pat, I don’t think of someone sweet as being weak at all. Stronger, in fact, to be able to rise above the nasty aspects of this life to remind us of a kinder, gentler side.
Wai does appear to be rising above his original sad state too. That last photo of him really is encouraging. And your new wwoofer today, it would be wonderful, if she does work out, to have someone for a few months. A real opportunity to connect.
Hope you have a lovely day too. ~ Mame 🙂
[…] leave it to Celi at thekitchensgarden to stimulate my morning creative flow with her […]
hmmmm maybe my word would be “busy” or it could be “gregarious”. Poor Wai- I wonder if he is lonesome for a pig friend?
Of course Boo is lovely company. I am amazed how much better Wai is already. Your diligence is paying off! Have a wonderful day.
Do I see 👀 on Wai? This is so fantastic! And TonTon! What gen he is to make friends with him.
I sure hope the new woofer is a worker and someone easy to like. Two months is a l-o-n-g time otherwise.
Here are two words to describe you Cecilia– resourceful/ resilient.
Ton is a gem.
I’m Watchful. I take it all in and sift it around and chew on it like a piece of straw, and that should change to watchful and active! Wai is improving in every shot. What a
comfortable body you are giving him. I hope our new helper is a help to you.
one word …impulsive
am pleased that the goat lady is coming to help you for a few months..
I think Wai might be thinking, along with Mr. Prufrock:
“There will be time, there will be time
To prepare a face to meet the faces that you meet;”
It seems to me that Wai’s belly is not hanging down as far and he is moving more easily and confidently. The walking is working! Is he reacting at all to the herefords in the barn yet? A goat farm worker…how exciting, well, for me, anyway. ha
Every time i get to snip and create a canal between two continents he walks better – he must feel like he is on a straitjacket.. and no he completely ignores the other pigs and the dogs.. he is not a very social pig yet..
I once had a dog who had lived wild for a while, she was in a pretty bad state when i got her. Even when all of her needs were taken care of she still took a long time to become social and dog like as she had spent so long in survival mode.
“Of course there are two Yous. The You that you see and the You that they think they See”
Wise words!
So glad to see Wai moving around.
Wai looks wai better! Sorry, I couldn’t resist. But he does. I’d agree with Eclectic for you. And add Kind ♡
Wai looks much more cheerful!
