We were working so fast on the Hay Day that I made a temporary tower of hay in the piglets front room. They have made the area into a race track and snack area.
They run madly round and round the tower then throw themselves down for a quick munch of the fresh hay then off they go again. 
They are loving it.
I have to be careful they don’t eat too much of the alfalfa – they will get too fat too fast! I will get the escalator out when Poppy’s piglets are a little bigger and load it all into the loft. In the meantime Molly’s piglets are happy to look after it for me.
Every time I see Lady Astor lying down when all the other cows and heifers are walking about I get a flutter of panic. 
Afraid that the milk fever is coming back. I am fairly sure we are out of the woods but flutters of panic are not rational beings.
Poor old doll – I am always taking her out little offerings so she will stand up and I see that she rises without any problems and I can relax. Like gently poking a sleeping baby with one tender finger, just to check for movement.
Little piggy.
It has been cold – no snow though – like some other states -but cold enough to put the babies heat lamps back on for the night-time.
The busy weekend awaits.
I hope you have a lovely day.
Love celi

Pigland enrichment! Summer camp for piggies! Glad everyone is healthy! I, too am suspicious that Lady Astor is training you. Hope you have a smooth day at the racetrack.
Those piggies will remember their heyday as I remember mine… heh heh — have a great day! ~ Mame 🙂
Well-timed rain makes life go round.
Luv the babies under the heat lamp: snug piggies!
Lady Astor: “Oh, how lovely! When I lay down, Miss C comes to check on me and brings me treats. I must remember to lie down more often, then I shall receive more treats.”
Pavlov’s cow…….if I sit she’ll brings me treats 🙂 A sweet day!
Yay for hay! xx
No hay for me thanks, I have enough allergies already
I am intrigued by the piggie lamp. I am learning so much about farm life from you. Fascinating thing, farm living.
It’s been brutally cold here too, but fortunately it has stayed above freezing…for now anyway.
