Are they related? Gorging and Gorgeous. This mob(all these hungry piglets) gorge on their food until they are stuffed like deer heads on the wall and they are rather gorgeous as well. Maybe we gorge on their good looks.
Geraldine, like the dogs, is never far from me. Waiting at the back door, or staring at us through the dining room window, watching me garden or sitting in the back of the truck. Today I was in the shed right by the bags of feed and as an experiment I called her by name Geraldine. “Come here, Geraldine – Geraldine!” and within seconds she swooped over from the barn and glided over the truck then slid gently to a halt at my feet. Peep, Peep, she said.
Clever girl. It is a dangerous game though – she is a heavy bird and long past landing in my lap like she used to.
My lovely milk cows. Lady Astor and Aunty Del.
I hope you have a lovely day.

Celi, this post was so relaxing. Like Geraldine, my goose Polly also comes to her name, though not from up on high. She’s just a bit too rotund for such antics. Isn’t it wonderful that what others would consider just a farm animal can show us their intelligence and trust and come to us eagerly when called?
Peep peep to the very pretty Geraldine 😄
