Ton and I had a busy productive day yesterday. I called the Swine Herd Man and apparently Sheila the Babe is only a week old, evidently pigs will also make you wait, even though you think you know when they are due, so she will be allowed to leave her Mother in a month. Waiting again. 
It rained on and off all day yesterday. Delicious soaky rain. 
This shot is for Mad Dog, because he likes his pigs. And This pig is working on being the ONLY fat pig in the sty! 
What are we to do with them. 
Little piggies. Well not so little anymore. 
Kupa spent all day sat in the barn watching the chickens grow. But I guess it Was raining. It was a watching the grass grow ( or in this case the chicks grow), kind of day. 
Still not very pretty, are they. 
Meadow is pretty though.
Queenie has been brought up from Pat’s Paddock. Mama was having an off day yesterday so I put her in Pats Paddock for some tall grass, interspersed with beet shreds and yoghurt and Queenie joined Hairy MacLairy in the Salad Bar Field for a hay day. With all this rain the grass will be growing again. Thank goodness. 
This picture of Neville’s garden is for Misky from Misk Cooks. She sent me some incredibly simple directions (with pictures) so that I could successfully load the Share buttons at the top of my page. Thank you Misky. My gardens are growing and the blog world loves to share.
Good morning. We are to have a warmer day today they say. With a little wind.
I am still playing catch up with the chores but it appears that all is well in the animal world for the time being.
You all have a lovely day. Take good care of each other.

We’re the opposite here, we’re grateful that the rain has finally stopped. I love that piggy sat in the trough, crazy thing. 🙂
He is going to be the fat one!! c
Glad to see that the instructions worked! Such pretty, shiny little buttons showing up now. I’ve taken your suggestion on board, and I’ll release that file for public viewing next week. Welcome home! 🙂
Good idea Misky, it will be great info for everyone! And thank you again for the help.. c
“they grow so good,because they eat so good” 🙂 Kupa is going to be stunning when he shows in a couple of weeks time. Good to see everybody on the farmy again.
His tail is growing so fast, i am surprised at how quickly it is growing.. c
G’mornin’, Celi! Good to see that all’s well despite your absence. Those pigs don’t stay piglets very long, do they? This is the time of year when he turn a corner and don’t see temps in the 30’s temps anymore. I hope so. Enough with the cold nights! Have a great day!
I am certainly looking forward to some growing in the fields! We need that warm and isn’t the rain lovely, your garden will be growing too! c
Lovely shots of the pigs and the spring flowers. Everything will grow so well if it does get warmer after all that rain.
It will start to grow fast from now on i hope.. c
Lol at the pig in the trough! Silly piggy!
I can’t wait to see what your Spring brings — I’ve nominated you for a blog award (one you’ve won before, but I don’t see any rule against getting it again!!) http://wp.me/p1Pt2Z-j2 Please keep sharing with us 🙂 Your writing is wonderful!
Celi, I love your blog. All farm, without the work or smells. 🙂
Thank you Bill, Though of course you will agree that I could not Possibly have a Smelly Farm! .. c
Of course not. It all looks lovely, actually.
Morning all – lovely to catch up with everyone today. Those pigs are such characters! We’ve actually had two days without rain, after a pretty miserable and windy fortnight.
Well the rain is good at this time of year. If i were to order it i woujld ask for 1/4 an inch at dawn EVERY DAY for the summer. But I guess that would be greedy! c
oh that pig looks happy!
hi celi! that pig pic might be my favorite photo ever!
Aw! Love the piggy in the hay!
He is funny isn’t he, they sleep under there all night! c
Lovely photos! Enjoy your day.
I was born on a farm in Indiana, but live in Chicago now. I appreciate the photos of new life in this warm and rainy month. Thanks for sharing…
WEll you are only a few hours from us! but a world away.. Welcome and thank you for reading! c
Ah, Meadow and Kupa and adorable pig-ness, rain and cows and chicks in their awkward period. Such richness in photos.
Morning Sharyn, there is just so much material around here! c
Thanks Cecilia, your pigs look fab – I wish I had some land for pigs and chicken 😉
I know you do, such a shame that you cannot.. ah well you can farm vicariously through me, however it is not quite as tasty!! c
