Well, I'm immersed in the purgatory that is packing. And cleaning. And organizing. And fending off well-wishers from all directions. No, actually I'm only slightly overwhelmed, and very excited. I'm leaving in five days! Yay!

I do miss my pigs. Martha sent me some photos of the new boar and gilts, and they are lovely. I also liked the one, shown here, of Hot Dog wallowing in upper field.
