Ginger's Big Adventure

 This pig, like all of our animals (with the exception of our sheepy girl, Faith), is an opportunist.  Give her an open gate, and she happily steps through and continues on her merry way.  Typically, she's looking for something snack-worthy.  After all... pig.

Yesterday, I was away from the farm and Hubbs and the dogs installed all of his handmade birdhouses around the farm.   

The cardinal and chickadee are now on the pasture fences that line our driveway.

The goldfinch sits on the fence by our barn driveway,

and the bluejay found a home atop an old, dead apple tree trunk in the sheep/pig yard. 

  Upon completing that task, he "may have" left the sheep yard gate open.

Ginger, apparently, seeing the opportunity, seized it.

It wasn't until afternoon chores, when Hubbs was at the barn and heard Faith hollering that he realized something was amiss.

There was Ginger on the opposite side of the pasture fence (the road side). 

 Luckily, we get barely any cars on our road during the day.  Also, Ginger will stay in the grass, as that is where the eating happens!

A couple of graham crackers later, and Hubbs had her merrily on her way back into the pasture.

Much to Faith's relief!


"Whew!"  said Forrest,  "so glad it wasn't me!!"

Everyone likes a little day out I guess! Apparently Faith doesnt go for any nonsense and prefers everyone to be where they belong. :) Those birdhouses look so nice perched on their different posts. I bet you'll see lots of action as new tenants take up residence in new homes.
Have a great day!

So glad everyone is home safe. Amazing how quickly Forrest went from looking like a pup to looking like a grown up boy. He certainly has provided lots of extra exercise for you all. Lisa G in TN

As they say, the grass is always greener. I hope Ginger enjoyed her adventure. Love the bird houses very cute . It will be nice to see the sun today. I think there’s more rain in our future the next couple of …days not constant or a lot …. Unfortunately, we still need it. Enjoy! Hugs!

A bit of excitement and everything was safe in the end!
Full tummy too, I think!
Just love those birdhouses! They are so neat. And glad that Faith was so smart to alert Hubs to the fact that Ginger was on the wrong side of the fence.
