Wallowing

The sudden temperature jump into the 90’s  has been a bit of a shock.

The sheep have been panting in the shade.

The dogs have been panting in the shade.

The chickens have been panting in the shade.

The pigs on the other hand don’t pant so we made them a nice mud wallow to cool off in.

They seemed appreciative, as far as pig appreciation goes.

Ivy watched them roll in the mud, became inspired and shed her clothes at a run to the nearest puddle.

She convinced Clara to join her as well, sadly Clara was a bit too concerned about belly button cleanliness to fully enjoy the experience.

    Like always, great pictures and a great story! Your grass is much taller than what we have here. Thankfully we haven’t gotten the high temps yet, it might be a little too early to go to the lake. Charlie has asked to go a couple times already on semi-warm days.

      It’s amazing what a difference two hours of driving makes. Most of the grass in the picture had been grazed down by the sheep once already! Ivy hasn’t yet asked about the local outdoor pools or lakes, so far she seems content with her puddles and springs in the pasture but I’m not sure how long that will last!

      The morning after this I was trying to get everything done quickly so we could go to story time. Ivy had gone out to start the chores for me and when Clara and I followed her out a few minutes later. When we got outside she was naked running through the water again having done only half of her chores. Do I even need to say that we were late for story time?

    I’m impressed you even made it to story time!
