Annie Gets Up Close and Personal With The Pigs
Yesterday was a typical Wednesday.
With farm help from our friends and neighbors, Jim and Kathy...
I was free to head to the city to take care of errands.
That afternoon I took Annie and the boys out for a walk.
We checked out the seedlings in the pumpkin patch...
It looks like everything is doing fine.
With rain expected over the next two days,
these tiny plants should get a good start.
And with the landscape fabric over the garden...
I won't have any weeding to do!
The rock garden is filling in with Spring color.
This little garden is so very cheerful.
Sitting in the garden swing next to it gives me much joy.
We checked on the bunny nest in the vegetable garden.
Tuesday night I had seen the bunnies out hopping through my strawberry boxes.
Yesterday afternoon, they were safely tucked back in their little nest...
While we were out, Jim and Kathy were just finishing up the afternoon chores,
and Kathy was herding turkeys.
Yes, this is how it's done.
Flapping one's wings makes the turkeys move just a little faster!
Our last stop on our walk was the pig pen.
Annie came in to visit with Ginger and MaryAnn, face to face, for the first time.
She was unafraid, yet unimpressed.
Moll, of course, finds her MaryAnn and sits for a spell...
"Hello, Moll," says Sammy.
Hello Ginger.
Really, Sammy?
