Thanks Nines. I wouldnt download music anyway, but good to know.

Yes, they are cute and happy, and if you saw where she came from, she must feel like shes in a mansion! There were 4 larger than pinky pigs of aprox 250lbs and her and another small one all in a 10x10 pen! No pool, no water spicket that I could see and no hay.

Now she has a 12x20 with the pool and spicket, but she doesnt seem to know how to use the spicket and hasnt gotten in the pool yet. Pinky has tried to show her cause she is dirty, but she seems afraid of it.

We had a huge roll of hay delivered today and I had Pete make an area in the covered part of the pen into a nice little bedding area for them so they dont get cold. He put tarp on the outside of the fence, then put hay inside the fence and put some wire fencing to hold it in place, so now they have a three sided insulated area and the forth side has just the tarp on the outside of the fence, its about three feet out from the U shaped bedding area.

I think that should be fine for our winters here, they can use it or sleep out in the open part of the pen on hay or dirt.

We let them roam the pasture while he was doing the work and Delilah just followed Pinky, didnt try to dig out or anything, so I am not so worried about her getting out.

She is also loving the day old produce that my son brings home from the grocery store every few days.

We had about 9 volunteer tomatoe plants growing in the pen and now there is one left, she has been eating them. Apparently Pinky considered that too much work when we just hand him ripe tomatoes, but she ate the bush with green tomatoes on it. Pete dug up the cantaloupe bushes a few months ago and replanted them in our yard, so apparently the pig pen is the new "plant nursery", growing stuff from seeds that the pigs missed! I think I also HAD potatoes growing in there, but the bush is gone and the dirt rooted up, so I think we missed out on that.

Maybe once we open the gate she wont go in there except to eat, and she will graze like Pinky, and we will have our veggie starter patch back.

Is that the song about her going to NYC??? At this point I try not to stray on my computer since its such a POS! (peice of shit)

I have more excellent news, after doing all these shows over the past two months, I got 3 different orders from people who bought stuff at the shows wanting more for themselves and Christmas gifts, so on Monday I spent the day making up products to send out, it was exciting for me that over two days I got over 300 dollars worth of orders from strangers. It makes me feel really good that they liked my products enough to reorder and buy for others.

Thanks guys. Yes, I dont know what came over me today, I was wide awake at 4am, layed there till 430 than got up and tried to be productive!

Doing some dreaded Christmas wrapping. I hate wrapping! As a teen I used to tie a ribbon around the shopping bag it came in and toss it under the tree, but as an adult I just cant do that and feel good about it.

That is becuase they are so excellent!!!


Congratulations! I hope to be getting more soon!

Tauranga, I hope you're ok after the earthquake.

Me, too, T!

Hey, Nine's! How are things up in waterworld!?!

Hey, Mama! I've been missing everyone lately! We had to work our little town's Christmas parade last night. It was so warm, we didn't need coats until it was all over! Today and tomorrow, the temps. are going to drop a good 30 degrees and a chance of snow! A little, bitty chance, but I'll take it!LOL

Same here! We are supposed to have wet snow on Sunday with no accumulation!

Hope you are doing well! Christmas parade sounds like a lot of fun!

It is alot of fun! It's really small, about 10 floats, but they're all lit with Christmas lights and it's really pretty. Santa shows up on the fire truck and all the school kids sing carols at the town gazebo. It's a nice, little piece of Norman Rockwell that still survives. I like it. If the pics the paper took are any good, I'll see if I can link them this weekend.

Me threee!!!

Hey guys! I'm testing to see if I can embed a video. I really like these guys and I hope you do to. IF it works... here goes!







YEAH!!!!

Yep!!! Tauranga's good! Just stepped away for a bit!

She should be visiting us soon!

Me Four!!!!

Glad to hear it.

On another note, anyone who has an I phone, I have this app called sky walk, its free, and once you load it, you just point your phone in the sky, or to the ground and it shows where the stars, plantets, and constallations are, its very cool right now because you can see the alignment of the planets beginning. You cant see them all on one screen cause some like the moon, is in the southern hemi at the moment so you have to point your phone to the ground to see it.

You get the point. There are many planets very close to being in the straight line now. Its pretty cool

Neptune, pluto, mars, mercury, venus, the sun, saturn

I sent you a pm

I didn't get it, Flav. Not in my box. Maybe it didn't send?
