We went to Aggie days at the BMO centre in Calgary last weekend so that Flora could get a chance to check out the pigs and any other fun stuff that they had going on. She got to see a big ol' mumma pig and her 6 day old babies which was pretty exciting. Rather unfortunately, the farmer was all about children being aware of where their food comes from so when we kindly told him that Flora loved pigs his reaction was "Yep. Bacon. Pork chops. Ham. Leather." and so on, delivered in a rather abrupt and matter-of-fact way. Lucky for me, it was very loud in there and Flora didn't seem to make the connection, or just didn't bother listening to him. Out of curiosity, I asked her what she thought about eating a pig and she was horrified.
Later, Flora did some flower planting with Rich. She had brought a pine cone in from outside and had placed it on the stairs a number of days before this. Every morning she was pretty disappointed to see it hadn't started to grow yet. This should give her a bit more satisfaction!
