Re: [RC] re: old ways (Barbara's comments) - Barbara McCrary
Yes, I know this is way off subject and I shouldn't
have answered, but every once in awhile, something is said that sets me
off...
Too many people in the country are so removed from
reality, it bothers me a lot. It's the old story about asking school kids
where milk comes from..."from the grocery store, of course."
OK, I'll now drop the subject.
After a bit of rain yesterday, today is acting like
spring, and it's time to go riding!
I'm so tickled...my and Lud's horses are kept together
in a paddock, but in the afternoon, I let them out for a bit of grazing in a
two-acre pasture. About 8 PM or so, I go out to feed the dogs, the cat,
and to call in the horses. They are so used to the routine that when I
call them by name, they come galloping in from the pasture to their paddock for
the night. I have put hay in their bins and I think they like the security
of being close in for the night. I don't have to go out to catch them,
they come in on their own. I love it!
Here's to you, Barbara McCrary. I couldn't have said it
better. I helped with butchering as a kid. As an adult, I am
still comfortable with personally shooting and butchering animals for meat.
I realize that most of the world thinks their meat comes from a
cellophane package, but I imagine there are still plenty of us left who think
that if you're willing to eat it, you should be willing to kill it, too.
Of course, now RC is WAY off topic and will get into the whole
vegetarian thing. I am very happy to be an omnivore. But, if I had
to give up one, it wouldn't be meat :) Cindy
