Lazy Summer Afternoons

Those hot, hazy, humid days of summer have arrived.

Heat loving flowers are happily shining their faces skyward...

spreading a full spectrum of color across the gardens.

Warm afternoons are best spent beneath shade trees...

resting...

soaking...

dust bathing...

saving more energetic activities for the early morning, or late evening.

It's moments like these that are perfect for relaxing with a close friend...

sharing a moment...

As I sat there in the pig yard watching Moll and MaryAnn napping,

MaryAnn suddenly rolled over onto her belly

and placed her head in my lap.

She laid there like that for quite some time as I rubbed her ears and talked to her.

These girls are so very much like dogs...

loving the attention and affection.

Just like dogs, they come running as soon as I enter the yard...

always seeming to have a smile on their face!

I love these pigs!!
