Springing back into blogging with fences...

This is a scanned version of a shot from 1994.  I have published it before but that was a few years ago and it just makes me want to chuckle to look at.  Hog Wallow Hotel should be the title.  I have literally spent hours and hours looking for this shot.  Finally thought to look at my other blog and found it.
Thought I would throw this one in as well...it is from over near Arthur, Illinois.
If I remember, I will be linking to Tex's Good Fences.

Thanks to TexWisGirl on what those storage things are in the second image. Never seen these before. Great shot of the white fence and cute shot of the hogs!

The shot is hilarious! It looks like all those little pigs are asleep. I tried to impress you by counting them, but it's impossible.

Linda said...

Ha, that's a passel of pigs! Fun to see.

I grew up with sights like that; usually one of my brothers was trying a little pig 'wrassling', lol.

I really like your photo of the Hog Wallow Hotel. I'm glad you found it.

Welcome back to blogging. I am also a recent returnee. Boy do I relate to searching and searching for photos. I am determined to take a snippet of time everyday to organize them. So far so good.

Carletta said...

The hogs aren't wallowing so much as basking in the sun and shade. They sure look content.

I told myself last week I need to organize my photos some way. I spend too much time looking for things I have so I can relate to you.

Nice fences, Rose! That first shot made me chuckle..."happier than a "dead" pig in the sunshine!" These guys are staying in the shade!

Ida said...

These were delightful to see. The Corn Crib is something I don't see around here so I found it quite fascinating.
Also I love the shot of the dog in your post below.
