Into the Chaos – PIGS!
As with most things in our life, things didn’t go 100% to plan. We started making a plan, and that plan fell apart so we made a new plan… wash, rinse, repeat. https://youtu.be/ErrmfQBjs-I And yes, this weekend, despite everything I talk about at the beginning of the video, we got a couple of commercial pigs.ContinueContinue reading “Into the Chaos – PIGS!”
