Orchard piglets enjoying the muddy puddles

 Yesterday's thunder storms resulted in a lot of fun for the orchard piglets, muddy puddles are a pigs delight on a hot sunny day though they thoroughly dislike them in the winter.


 Some of you may know that pigs don't sweat so to enable them to cool themselves they like to take mud baths and should be provided with a "wallow" in hot weather.

Well this is a natural wallow as a result of the thunder storms and I believe it was much enjoyed by all.

    How many do you have?
    No rain in the west yet, and thoroughly needed.
