I spent tons of summers on my Aunt Alice's farm in Bern, Idaho. She is 92 now and my favorite uncle Leon has passed on. While on the farm, I moved pipe, fed the chickens, weeded the garden and had so much fun with my cousins. I was mostly unpaid labor (haha) Al and Leon owned a beautiful spread up there and raised cattle and grain. I visited my childhood haunt last summer and was overwhelmed with childhood memories and sadness that these days were over.. The entire farm is a painting waiting to happen but This sow and piglets were in the barn behind the house and I couldn't resist painting them first.
