Pigs Love Water

pigs love water, hoses make water, and pigs are smart.  so by now, i should really know better than to turn my back on a pig.  each time i stick the hose into the herd’s waterer i risk pignanigans. but with pregnant pigs, newborns, and jah’s lush woods surrounding me, i oftentimes find myself distracted by a this or a that. 

with about seventy gallons of head room left to fill in the tank, i decided to do a quick stroll around the paddock. 

on my return, i found this clown in the video—-smiiiiiling away. 

two mowing posts in two days, i’ll admit, i’m a little surprised myself.  after yesterday’s job i was a bit too tired to put together the video, but i thought doing so might help get you into my space a little bit more.  so, here it is, an eight hour day on the tractor shrunk down to a minute.

i mean, seriously.  eight hours.  an entire work day.  mowing.  i hope the clip allows you to try that on, even if only for a minute.

reminder:  if viewing this post soon after publishing youtube may still be processing the video.  quality will improve shortly.  thanks.
