The piglets' snouts are showing definite signs of wear and tear. If you saw how effective they were at turning over large areas of stony, overgrown ground you wouldn't be surprised.
At the moment when I go to feed and let out or lock in the donkeys each day I am greeted by a chorus of eeyoring. They seem to do it in relay, but this morning decided to all kick off at the same time. Our neighbours had some people working on a flat roof on their property, and probably hadn't realised that the donkeys were even there..... until they all started braying that was. I saw them almost fall off the roof in shock. Must admit, it did make me smile.
Had some friends round this evening for a one day early Burns' night supper. It was nice to be able to enjoy it for once because for the past few years four of us have cooked a three course dinner for 80 people on this weekend. Did I miss it? No....not really.
Yes, those noses don't look so pink and cute anymore, but the pigs still do. I recall how our hogs used to turn up the earth so I'm not surprised at the state of their noses. As for the donkeys, my friends has two and they heehaw every time they see her, just on the off chance she'll feel sorry for them and give them a treat. Now that is much louder than any winney I'm ever heard!
We used to have Robbie Burns night every year when I was highland dancing, it was always a fun night, though I never did partake in the haggis. I know, I'm a coward :) Miss the bagpipes...I have enough Scottish blood in me that I loved them from the first time I heard them.
