Over the last couple of days I have been feeling progressively better. Today I would say I felt healthier and more at peace than I have for a very long time. Even my body was functioning better. Because of feeling better I have been spending more time outside and have nice experiences because of it. (Inspite of the ticks)

The pigs have been so much more fun than I ever imagined pigs would be. They have gotten out of the barn every day now so we have decided that we will allow them to free range. What a riot! The piggies come to the house and sleep under the deck out of the sun. They are up and moving quickly when they hear our voices happy to have company. When we go out to the coral, the pigs follow...so the dogs, both cats and 3 pigs...off we go. They all get along well and greet each other nose to nose. I think it is a hoot.
In the coral we have an old bathtub that we have set up for a watering trough as it has a plug to drain and clean it. It was a fairly warm sunny day and I guess big pig was hot so he climbed into the horses water...the bathtub and started to roll around. Then he sat up looking around for the others. I wish I had a camera with me! The horses, who are mostly accepting the pigs in their area now, came over and gave the water a sniff and looked quite indignant over the whole thing.
In the evening, the pigs are tired from rooting around in the woods behind the house and follow us back to the barn where we simply close the gate. They will stay in for the night and push through the next day. It works pretty good as they seem to have an idea of the boundaries now.
