The beastly hot and humid weather finally broke, and we've had several days nice enough to let the pigs loose.
One of the best things about renting this place is the non-fertilized lawn. Perfect for eating. I had to make an enclosed cage, since I've seen hawks and was told there are turkey vultures in the trees. But all three of the girls love being outdoors.
The cage is hardly animal-proof. But its enough to keep them in and so far nothing else has been curious enough to approach it. I am always within earshot. The weather was so nice yesterday, I spent hours reading outside with them. We all thoroughly enjoyed the afternoon.
It's not always big enough for the three of them. Pinni and Bertie will bite Willow whenever they get the chance. But for the most part, the grass is enough distraction, and there's enough room that they're not on top of each other, so harmony mostly prevails.
Ah, the joys of summer: beautiful weather, green grass, and ripening tomatoes. :-)
