On a comical note, the photo is of Eve, our little Ossabaw Island donkey, opening my package. When I let Eric out the gate to go to work this morning, he mentioned that he had a present from Grace, a longtime friend of the children. He set it & another bag on the hood of the car so that I could take them into the house. Since I had dog food with me, I headed back to the pasture thinking the things on top the car should be fine. I returned to find that Eve had chomped a big hole into the side of my package. The bow was intact & the contents were fine. Grace had given me a sweet gift of goatsmilk soap & lotion from the store where she works. It is locally produced & she thought I would get a kick out of it. Little did she know it would be so appealing to Eve. The contents of the package smelled great but apparently not great enough that Eve was tempted to eat them. All was fine & I had an amusing story.
I did make a grand trip through town today. I had to deliver the finished piece of collaborative art to Brook Glenn Elementary where I was artist-in-residence last week. All of the fifth graders had a hand in the project either with carding, dyeing or felting. It turned out nicely & the students were tickled to see me in the building again. As long as I was in town, I ran into Country Boys to buy a new bluebird house. We had such fun watching the nesting birds last season that we decided to add another house or two.
Pig Update: The pigs are loving their eggs! They are getting about 4 or 5 pounds a day of scrambled eggs & today they had them with some snow peas. I'd found a bag of snow peas that had fallen under things in the freezer. They had that icy accumulation in them so I decided to just let the pigs have them for a treat. Of course, pigs seem to think anything is a treat but there is nothing like hot scrambled eggs melting frozen snow peas!
