Hardly anyone was ready for morning today. It’s a chilly frosty one and only the roosters were cool with it. I know I’m definitely with the pigs; I’d rather be sleeping. How is your morning?

This is what it looks like when I come home and make a run for the outhouse BEFORE stopping to talk with everyone. Mom guilt crosses species lines.

I was so proud of my garden this year; “kunepoo squash” and a variety of sunflowers. All grown with love for those of us who call At Road’s End home.

Now, within just a couple of days, someone has decided to help themselves to the bounty a month or so before we are ready to harvest. I’m worried I won’t have anything left for us if they managed to do this much damage in just a couple of days. It makes me sad.

I’m definitely up for some advice if anyone has any for me.

While I’m busy mixing feed in the seacan, the pig are throwing a party just outside the door.

One of our many resident squirrels was quite the vocalist this morning; chomping and chattering away. Make sure you have your sound turned on for this one.

These two love muffins are bonded and looking for their forever family. Stan is a barrow, and is the sweetest and most loving pig ever; give him belly rubs and he is putty in your hands. Oreo is a boarling, and is silly and full of s***k; he loves to play “find the carrot/apple” but is also happy to settle down for some snuggles after playtime. As you can see they are the best of friends so are looking for a home where they can be treasured and be their best selves TOGETHER.

Drop me a line if you think you might be “the one” for them.

Yesterday was “weigh-day” here on the farm. Zelda is our second biggest pig, now weighing in at 337lbs which in Kunekune terms qualifies her as hella-humongous!

For all my piglet people and general piggy parents out there; it’s a HOT one. Keep the bowls, pools, and wallows full and wet. Pigs don’t handle the heat well; keep them safe.

Got more squash than you can deal with?

Any edible squash at all from acorn to zucchini and everything in between (including hubbard or pumpkin or spaghetti or or or) we would be thrilled to take them off your hands. Come for a visit and drop them off yourself, bring a picnic basket and have lunch with the piglets (be prepared to give up most of what you bring though, they love food), or I’d be more than happy to pick it up from you the next time I’m in Quesnel, Prince George, or Hixon. My garden isn’t big enough yet to meet the demand here on the farm and squash is a huge help through the Winter months.

Feel free to share this post with anyone who has more than they can deal with. The piggies and I appreciate it and you; thank you!
