Just Pigs
Today's post is short and sweet....
a trip to visit Ginger and MaryAnn.
For once, there is really nothing newsworthy to write about.
Really.
Some days are like that...but not often!
You might think that you have seen the above picture many times.
Believe me, I just took it.
The thing is...
whenever MaryAnn sees me, she comes walking right over to me.
She flops right down on her side...
demanding a belly rub.
Ginger usually follows behind her for a quick hello.
MaryAnn is the most affectionate of the two...
(or maybe she just loves belly rubbins more!)
Temperatures have fallen....30's to 40's at night.
Luckily, MaryAnn and Ginger's hair has all grown back in.
They don't seem to mind the cooler temperatures,
and nestle together in their bed of hay at night inside their house.
For winter, though, I will hang a heat lamp to keep them warm.
I ran electricity to their house this summer in preparation.
Because they are in their own home and not in the barn,
they will also need a heated waterer for winter.
But let's not get ahead of ourselves!
Autumn is here...and winter is far off (hopefully).
