Not this pig. Sheila does not fly. She too much of a lady for such things.
This pig. Molly. She would fly. Molly has the most red on her body. Red legs and the whitest little face. She is a beautiful wee pig.
Very energetic like her mother. Speaking of her mother. Here is Poppy with Manu. I am so proud of them – getting on so well.
Now that Poppy is (probably) pregnant she goes onto a strict diet. Up to and No more than four pounds of grain a day. Two eggs, tons of hay, vegetables and lots of exercise. Because she is sharing with Manu he is on the slim diet too.
The peacocks love Johns red truck. This is Mr Flowers and Pania. 
And the cats love anyones truck. The other day the UPS man had to come back to make a return trip to deliver one of my cats back home. He found it sitting on a box in the back of his truck when he stopped at the next delivery after mine.
Alex has a Teddy Bear nose.
She is still not terribly friendly but I am not worrying about it. She comes when she is called now and I can move around her without her startling. If Aunty Del is pregnant (and I think she is) then I will not need to milk Alex. But if her baby is a heifer then I will work on training it with the others.
Good morning. We MIGHT have three calves this year – if all goes well – touch wood and all that. Won’t that be fun!
Time to start work.
Have a lovely day,

A feast of a post – such lovely pictures – handsome piggies peacocks and pusses.
I am being seduced away from the computer by the glorious smell of my shin of beef, lambs’ kidneys and marrowbone stew invading the house.
love, ViV xox
Yes the kind UPS man! What’s so funny it reads like a sidebar to the post, a mere moment in the day on the farm, along with flying pigs, and pregnancies galore.
Heartwarming pics of your pigs! Great, great, great! Stunning shots of Mr. Flowers & Pania, of cats & dog. And Naomi & Alex with her super haircut. How beautiful is that all! Beautiful shots and beautiful animals they are. All of them. You’re so right being proud of them! You just have to…
Hm… three calves and lots of piglets…. 🙂 Can’t wait….
A maternity ward indeed Nurse C! And your flying pig is hysterical! Cheers and have a lovely day!
I literally have a pewter necklace of a flying pig; I wear it to teaching writing classes a lot and just generally; it is always oohed and ahhed over!
Esther…The things I learn about you, and the places, too! Love, Gayle
Dear Esther…the things I learn about you…and from different places! Love, Gayle
life is fascinating and an ocean of happenings too big to fit into blog posts; that makes it fun
you posted twice; your enthusiasm spills over; are you an untrained dalmation like myself?
I do love your little flying pig!
Laughing, not being negative – maternity wards take a lot of work . . . . but it should be an exciting spring and summer of cows and piggies – don’t think anyone else will get much of a mention 🙂 !!
I let my mothers do all the work in my maternity wards!! and yes – it will be exciting alright.. c
Oh yes, Miss C, but the Head Sister still is the one with the responsibility 😀 !! Sleep well Milady!
Sheila is far too dignified for such gallivanting. I would expect nothing less of Poppy’s girls though.
exactly.. c
Wonderful images ..ah diet time for the pigs! Love the shot of the peacocks. Glad you got that cat back 😄
That’s a great UPS man you have there. All the pigs look healthy.
