    Thank you. Today's Dog, Cat and Pet of the Day are up.

    Sadly, in Thursday's storm, we lost all this year's 38 guinea keets. The parents are okay, but as we got more than 5 inches of rain that night, we suspect they may have just drowned in the nest, or got wet and chilled and died, we just do not know. Guinea hens hide their nests very effectively.

    All the others fared okay, we did lose power last night for three hours, and many roads are closed because of washouts. Our road - which is a dirt road- looks like someone took bites out of the edges, and some folks have a chasm between the end of their driveway and the street. But no loss of human life, at least.

    I'm so sorry about the babies being lost. Nature can be harsh at times. I'm glad there was no other loss of life.

    We are finding a new home for Wilder, the pot-bellied pig we took in. He has gored Kermit, and bit him and tried again to bite him, though he's always good with me. But last night he even bit Dusky, our male dog, when Dusky was just walking near him. So he needs a different home. Just wanted to let you know.

    Farmer’s Market day, but I will update the sights for tomorrow morning. I know you expect this, but felt I had to post (from my phone) anyway. Finally feels like summer today, hot and sunny!

    Karen, have you found a new home for Wilder yet? I'm so sorry to learn about all this happening.

    We ended up having him put down, as we didn't want anyone else to be injured by him, and that is what our vet recommended. We now suspect that behavior is why he needed a new home in the first place, and they just neglected to mention it. It was very sad, but he is buried in the forest.
