Stone's Throw Farm

When most of these photos were taken the farm was very dry, but now it’s downright soggy. Not only was it dry, but we had several days of high winds — one day I looked up and the 12’x7′ “pop-up” greenhouse was cartwheeling across the field. I had made the mistake of taking two of the seven sandbags off of it to hold something else down, and before I could replace those weights, it was gone. Oh, well. I certainly got my money’s worth out of it the last 2 years.

The pigs are happy it rained because it’s easier for them to root around in the soil when it’s wet. They’ve made quite a mess of their pen since I took this video, but they don’t seem to care. Their beds are still dry since I keep putting more straw into the huts for them.

I tossed the pigs some treats, including one of last year’s pumpkins that I kept around just to see how long it would last. They played with it for a little while; I assume it eventually fell apart and was trampled into the muck.
