I was amused to see a model of a hog in the back yard. A sign explains that Washington served as a burgess in Colonial Virginia and in 1761 he sponsored legislation to ban hogs from freely roaming the streets of Winchester, a measure designed to protect clean water.

Hello, even back then it was important to have clean water. I like the hog statue. Great post. Happy Tuesday, enjoy your day!
ReplyDeleteInteresting fact about our founding father! Thanks for sharing.
ReplyDeleteVery interesting . . . thanks for sharing :)
ReplyDeleteThe hog statue seems irritable!
ReplyDeleteThat's a cool finding about the hog legislation.
ReplyDeleteInteresting background. The hog statue doesn't have a friendly face.
ReplyDeleteA wise move to enforce cleaner water. Queen Elizabeth's birthday is not celebrated on her actual day either - seems odd for both to have a different day for festivities.
ReplyDeleteFunny about the statue. You would think the posted explanation would be enough.
