PIGGY ORANGE: THE FIELD IS WHITE

We have been waiting all summer for the cotton to ripen...I guess that is what it does?

We were waiting to do this.

These are Braden's "The field is white all ready to harvest" pictures.

Pretty sweet huh?

Yes, there are things that thrive and grow in Arizona...

Cotton and Braden!

The Origin of "Piggy Orange"

Our own kids may even need a reminder why Scott chose this interesting name for our blog.

When we were freshmen at BYU living in Helaman Halls, you had to pick up your mail in the Cannon Center. This became the means that Scott and I -- as reacquainted friends - could send each other little things (most of them a little strange).

One day, he found an orange that had a noticeable snout on the end . . . add a couple of magic marker eyes and, voila, you have a creature that even Saxton Freymann (author of "How Are You Peeling") would be inspired by. This orange made its way into my mail slot, and there was no question as to whom would have sent it. Scott was always a prankster.

This orange was passed back and forth between us, even after we returned back to Iowa and Colorado, through the mail. It never molded, but it definitely turned into a petrified orange! It is probably in some dinosaur museum this very day!! -- Cheryl
