Mike, some day you and I are going to talk more about those horse-drawn implements of yours.  Not tonight though.  Congrats to the momma-pig.  Hope everyone got through the harsh weather OK. 
 
PS - Marcy, you can have all our rain.  You're welcome to it.  And I'm sorry, folks, that the PNW is priming the pump for all this horrible weather.  It's our cold wet spring that is sending all that unstable air over the continent that has the SE so torn up.  Wish it weren't so.

A quiet night for sure.  Valerie is up in the barn seeing Dayspring, a
500# American Mulefoot sow through another litter being born.  One boy,
one girl so far.  She has her coveralls on and her sleeping bag.  The
first several days she sleeps with the moms and kids.  No farrowing
crate, just a large dedicated stall for birthing.  Clean hay and a happy
mom pig.

It is amazing to see the little guys grab a teat within sixty seconds of
hitting the ground.  They can barely get their little mouth around it.
Those wolf teeth help them hang on!  Ouch!

Other than that, this is the first day we we have seen blue sky.  Just
hauled another McCormick-Deering grain binder home, no fixing needed.
Just hook up the team and go.  Moved the Port Huron thresher back here
two days ago.

Mike
