When the weather heats up, like it’s supposed to this week, Madeline goes out in the afternoon and gets a mud puddle going for the pigs.
These are her fair pigs. (There’s another one hiding somewhere, for a total of 5.) Their names are Bridget, Lena, Carmen, Tibby and Eric. (Name that movie, anyone?)
The county fair is coming up in just two weeks. She’s got a lot of pig baths to give before then to get them cleaned up and show ready!
Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants I think, right? It’s so hot here, I think I’d even partake in a little mud bath!
Lisa, you got it! She’s also read all of the books in the series.
are those pigs kept in with a single strand of electric fence? summer looks grand at your place.
Karl – yes they are. When Matt first made this pen they ripped through the electric a number of times. He just kept putting it back up, and within an hour they were trained to it. Now even when it’s off they usually won’t cross it. One did get out somehow the other day and it was difficult to get him back in because he didn’t want to cross back over that line!
