Living Piggy Lives

The pigs were just too cute today. I had to take a few pics of them!

At first, they weren't too sure about me... they maintained a safe distance.

But then their curiosity got the best of them...

Hoping to find some snacks!

I had to reward their trust with some left overs from lunch.
These piggies eat well!

After their photo shoot, they were simply exhausted. Nap time!

98 degrees and climbing ( or so it seems)

The sun is beautiful but so hot the last two days. I think I could put the crews lunch on the picnic table and it would cook itself in the sun. At least in the kitchen (although it is hot) I don't have the sun beating on my head like the crew does. They are holding up amazingly, drinking lots of water and wearing hats. Tomorrow will be 89, a cool down.
