This little pig went to market

Miss Piggy, a wild pig, has been enjoying the company of our horses and cows for some time now. She is about the size of Choco, our miniature horse and often trots around the fields with the other animals. She usually joins the horses and cows when Caroly feeds them in the morning, gobbling up the food they spill.

But about three months ago she started tearing up our lawn as though she thought that she knew a better location for our garden. She even rooted out our blueberry bushes. So we called out the Pig Busters to capture her and move her to a more suitable location several miles away. Now we can keep the garden where it is and have a smoother ride when we ride the lawn mower,

It turns out that Miss Piggy was actually Mr. Pig

No new fences yet!

My project of putting up some new fences keeps getting pushed back with all the rain we've been having and with fun trips to visit grandkids. I had to accomplish something visible this month so I landscaped around the gazebo, the favorite gathering place for everyone who visits.
BEFORE:

AFTER:

In about a month or two , the bottle brush bushes around the gazebo and the bird of paradise on either side the entryway should be 4 or5 foot tall and the bamboo in the back should reach the roof line. It should be a visual delight from both the cabin and from inside the gazebo while swinging in the hammocks!

Lost a Spoon?

Did anyone lose a spoon when they last visited us? How would you like a spoonbill as a replacement? Here are two that have been spending the week in our fields with the cows and horses. I think they have been feeding on all the frogs that have come with the inch or two of rain we've had most every day for the last couple of weeks, as you can see from the pond.

Isn't Florida filled with wonderful sights?
