Our Orchard, Our Pigs

Paddock Gates

Ryan Kraeger

We now have gates on the paddock that is going to be the pig yard starting on Saturday.

Seppi was the first to run through it, just to make sure it worked.
Winnie discovered dirt.
It’s pretty fun stuff
Almost as fun as loose hay.
We had to work in the rain a little bit, but we managed to get some netting around the fig trees. One of them got the leaves eaten almost to the ground recently.
We are not sure who the culprits are, but it happens shortly after these guys moved back into the orchard…
Good luck getting at the fig trees now.

"I only remember the very first part of the book where he described the man of steel and velvet and I remember the deep chord that phrase struck. I remember the image I had of a hand of living steel wearing a velvet glove, a hand that could crush or caress, strike a killing blow or wipe away tears, lift mountains or cradle an infant. The rest of the book was an afterthought." From an essay about Aubrey Andelin's "Man of Steel and Velvet".
