Through my eyes.
And now through the eyes of Sonia, Hugo’s mother.
French Mama as an American Girl. Country Life!
My visitors helped me build a fence to enable the two young gilts Molly and Tahiti to have their outside run. The little pigs were filled with joy at being able to finally run around outside in a space safe from the big pigs.
We have had a great time all together but today I take them all back to the train so they can go and explore the city of Chicago. They will be reading the comments today so if you Chicagoans have some suggestions of what they should visit do let us know!
I hope you have a lovely day.
Love celi

Hugo’s mom did a great job taking those photos. My favorite is the photo of the trees silhouetted against the darkening sky.
It is lovely isn’t it! c
Is that a picture of the lovely Hugo? Great stuff! lots of love from autumn in Bulgaria
Hugo is on the trailer with his brother.. c
I had only a brief glimpse of Chicago this summer and I envy them. Bet Hugo was glad to see them. Did he bake them his favorite dessert?
He told them all about it but it was a very short visit! c
Great Photos! Love the one with the gal kissing the cat. Chicago- Sears tower, Greek town, Natural history museum, get a tamale & beef steak somewhere- delicious. Have fun 🙂

Hi Robin – Greek Town – I might try and find that myself! c
I can hear the gilt girls giggling from here!
They are thrilled to bits, and this morning they are merrily rolling in some lovely sticky cow shit.. c
My little Snicker (Chihuahua) used to do that at one point. Gave it up, I guess. Snick’s been dead since February when a pit bull mauled him. He was my precious for 12 years. Love, Gayle
Gayle, I’m so sorry to hear about Snicker, that must have been heart-rending.
Dear Patti, The 12 years that I had with Snicker were golden. If you would like to see a photo of him, write to me at jamarzgayle19@yahoo.com Thanks for your tender thoughts. Love, Gayle
What a handsome couple Hugo’s parents are!! I think the man sitting on the hay is Hugo’s father and his mother’s in the kitchen with her thumbs up.
The suggestions above are all excellent ones–what to see in Chicago. I could not prove on them. Architecture Tour! Art Institute! Russian Tea Time! Yes!!! It is a lovely day here. Enjoy!!
Yes you are right, on the hay is Hugo’s step father and his mother in the kitchen.
and Boo in the background loving being one of the boys on the ute.
Our Boo – he loves his boys.. c
How lovely that Hugo’s parents came for a visit, is Hugo returning home soon? I haven’t been a tourist in Chicago in a very long time but I always love going down to Navy Pier and Millennium Park, might be a bit chilly this time of year. I would also suggest a river boat cruise, it’s a lovely way to see the architecture in the city. They should also have drink at the Sears Tower (Willis Tower). I haven’t done the The Frank Lloyd Wright Tour but I understand it is very good. And since it’s so close to Halloween, they should definitely do a Haunting Tour http://www.chicagohauntings.com/.
The haunting tour sounds like a great idea! c
Welcome! What a blessing, to help build a fence to free the piggies. I’ve never been to Chicago. Thanks for the photos, we treasure “our” farmy visitors. Enjoy your stay! And thanks for allowing Hugo this experience, we’ve learned from him, as well.
