it aint much, but it's home

It's not often that Elsie and Myrtle our Oxford Sandy and Black piggies don't come charging out of their house for food but today they didn't seem to be as eager as usual. I think that they are getting fed up of wading through mud.

This one is best viewed large to see Elsie in all her bristly glory if you have the time

Happy New Year!!!

3 good things:

I somehow managed to avoid waking up with a headache this morning

My Dad (74) telling me that my Mum (72) called him her little rosebud this morning - not bad for 50 years of marriage

A beautiful sunny day

[PasadenaRose]

The lighting is perfect! I had no idea that pig's ears flopped in front of their eyes like that, but I'm guessing that they can maneuver them into different positions? The current position is 'sun shade'. LOL
Very cute shot.

[Jan Hall]

@pasadenarose They don't move them very much, but some breeds have sticky-up ears and some have floppy ones.

[Caryn]

How cute! LOVE that light!

[Jane]

Elsie is pigging adorable..... Instant fav for Elsie ♥

So glad you have woken headache free ♥
So nice to hear such endearing romantic terms ♥
Sunshine is a rare sight these days, but when we get it, its truly wonderful ♥♥♥

I love your photo and your pig! What type of a pig is it? I want to buy a pig after seeing your image where your husband takes the pigs for a stroll- amazing!
