Of course...

as soon as I say we haven't seen her....


Pig comes stomping up the hill looking for food.

We have a routine.
Pig comes to the house..peers up the steps at the screen door..snorting and sniffing.
Dogs bark like maniacs.
I chase Pig with flapping arms and yelling.
Pig runs like hell to her den.
Repeat until I take the fruit and veg leftovers to the designated spot.

I used to worry about Pig and the deer eating "people food"..anything processed..that I was feeding the crows.
FYI, crows love pasta.
I stopped worrying about it.  We eat whole grain/organics/blahblah.  They eat better than most American families!


"Caaaaaarbs...I love carbs!"

"I love your organic 12 grain bread!"


"I'm not eating organic strawberries...I WANT CARBS!"


Pig feet. Terrifying, yet cute.

    Why is it that Pig is so stinking cute but the other ground hogs you see on the side of the road aren't? Maybe it's because she has a name?

    She's adorable, but, those feet are a little scary. I hope that you are feeling some better today. Why is it that being sick in the Summer always seems worse than being sick in the Winter? Is it just the weather, or is there something else at work?

    Oh gosh, creepy cute creature! I love bread, too, so I understand the addiction. sigh. And apparently ducks really like it, too. Hen scratch is nice, but BREAD is King. I hope you are feeling better.
