Ready for the storm
November 22, 2013
“The storm is coming”, the weatherman says. I think he is right this time. My animals are eating and getting into big fluffy beds. They are all cuddled up and ready for whatever comes.
I think that is a great idea. Snuggling while the wind blows outside is a wonderful thing. These girls will all have babies before the end of the year. Now, they are content to lay together and just stay warm. Soon, they will get ornery and want to be alone. That is when they get moved to a place of their own.
They arrange their new pen to suit themselves. They push the hay and straw into a big pile and sleep in the center. After a short while, their bed resembles a big bird’s nest. In a day or so after that, piglets will be born. It is a neat sight to see.
Once the evening chores are all done and all is quiet, the animals settle down and get comfortable. It is peaceful. I like to absorb the quiet and let the stresses of the day melt away…and let’s face it…there is nothing like a little cuddling to make the stress go away! 😮
