Rogey Pig
Today Rogey and his ladies and his babies broke through the gate of their paddock and helped themselves to the old milk and dairy products.
"Come on!" I said. "I'm a few minutes late and THIS happens?!"
Honey Pig took one look at me and squealed, "Food's here!"
She proceeded to chase me round the truck, round the trailer, and round and round the wheelie bins until I managed to grab two french sticks and a loaf.
With bread in hand, I scuttled towards the broken gate coughing and practically wetting my pants.
Coughing because I'm in flu recovery and practically wetting my pants because ...
A: I have a weak bladder and B: I was a tad scared.
And who wouldn't be scared with three enormous pigs after them!
Honey, Janey and Rog followed me through the gate and into their paddock where I tossed the bread as far away as I could ... which wasn't very far because I'm one of those 'girl' throwers.
But it gave me enough time to get back, put the gate on its hinges and tie pretty knots at each end.
Haa! Haa!
Meanwhile, the babies were enjoying heads down and butts up!

Treetopper
The air fills with torpedoing pinecones
and clouds of pollen.
The noise ... like the crack of gunshots.
The smell ... Christmas.
Animals scatter, humans hide.
Except silly farm chicks with little cameras.
A terrifying machine in every way.
$200 per hour!
When all is quiet, the natives come out to inspect and play.
And scratch an itch or two.
The cleanup awaits.
