PHOTO PROMPT © Rochelle Wisoff-Fields
In the photo we see a dining room, lit by candlelight and a hanging fixture with a glass star hanging from it. There’s a mirror on the wall. In it is a reflection of a curio shelf in the living room. There’s a hint of the front door in the sunken living room. We are actually looking at all of this reflected in sliding glass doors. Outside you can see the deck lights and LED lit windchimes that are winged pigs.

WHETHER PIGS HAVE WINGS
“Have you finished your paper on idioms and sayings?” Rosey shut her laptop with a satisfied smile. “Mine’s done.”
“Cakes get done. People get finished.” Jeff sailed a paper airplane across the room. “And I’ll finish mine when pigs fly.”
“You know that pig saying originated in the early 1600’s.”
“Okay, Missy-Know-It-All, did you know that a pilot, JTC Moore-Brabazon proved pigs could fly on 4 November 1909.”
“Oh? Did it sprout wings?”
“Not exactly.” Jeff grinned. “Mr. Moore-Brabazon put a pig in a wicker basket, tied it to the strut of his bi-plane, then flew 3.5 miles. Homework complete.”


HAPPY CHRISTMAS TO THOSE WHO CELEBRATE!

I’m also put in mind of “Piggies” from the Beatles White Album. 😉 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sXdKlpBOvs0&list=RDsXdKlpBOvs0&start_radio=1
Thank you.

A fun story, but perhaps not an achievement to be emulated.

And I’m sure the pig enjoyed his flight. Not a lot, but… Thanks for the smiles, have a very happy festive season.

Dear Sandra,
It’s kind of hard to read the pig’s expression, but I doubt it was into the experience. 😉 Thank you and may your holidays be filled with many more smiles.
Shalom,

Love the photos & explanation. I didn’t know about the flying pig story. Well done. Once again, I couldn’t comment through WordPress.

Dear Jan,
The internet is great for finding those little historical nuggets, isn’t it? I don’t know what to tell you about Word Press. Glad you found a workaround.
