Well you know where this is going don’t you.
Sheila has to have a new wallow as the old one by the chook house is actually above an electrical cable. John pointed this out yesterday. I did not know that. All this mouldy hay needs to be incorporated into the stony field and she already had a hole there so we filled it with water.
But Sheila turned her back for a minute and Mr Opportunist was in like Flynn. 
I popped a little water into the piglets wallow too. They don’t get too much but they all turned and ran like crazy to their water hole when they saw the water coming in. They are all in top form. Playing and eating and drinking. They run everywhere, at top speed. I am watching them carefully.
Pigs and Mud.
We have had day after day after day of the most divine weather. The days have been hot but not too hot and the nights have been cool though summer warm. I hope that we settle down a little now and the days can begin a summer drift. Touch wood. Touch Touchwood.
Have a lovely day today.

That’s it exactly ,,,,,a summer drift…that’s just where I am.
I so relate to those animals. I have a feeling wallowing in cool mud feels very, very fine.
Your farmy is so beautiful. Thanks for having us again and again…
I have so often watched the Elephant, warthog and buffalo wallowing in the mud, and so wanted to just go and join them… it looks so good and enjoyable… must try it sometime, have to pick a friendly Ellie though…
They all make wallowing look, well not enticing but fun. I’m going to guess that Boo gave a good shake after getting out & probably while you were nearby?
Boo never misses an opportunity!
The piglets are in ecstasy!
Even humans are getting into the act: spas feature mud packs as beauty treatments, and mud wrestling is quite the feature to watch!
Oh what fun, piggies in the mud!!!! I adore them. If my dog got in that mud I would be crazy.
Such big little piggies! 🙂
