Doink and I had a little chat today. However, when I first arrived in the barnyard he was napping.
At least Brandy was ready to say hello.
He woke up and said, “Hey Lady, now that it’s daylight savings time and all, and we’ve had a few warm days and all, and you’ve been out here with us more and all…”
And then he was down again. He’s really good at napping. Especially in the warm sun.
A bit later, he perked back up. “As I was saying, can we just call it spring? Because it kind of feels like spring today.”
(Yet another Hermione photo bomb. The girl loves to be in the spotlight.)
I said, “Doink, it snowed yesterday. It’s gonna snow again. We’ve had a few nice days but that doesn’t mean it’s spring. Sorry, dude. Doink? Doink?”
ZZZZZZ….
At least the chickens were up and about.
Finally! Happy hour in the sun!
I thought about what Doink said. Current temp? 65°. However, yesterday was miserable. And a few years ago we had almost three feet of snow at spring break.
I needed a sign. And there it was.
Happy tail. A perfectly happy, ready-for-spring piggy tail.
“OK, Doink. I’m on it.”
Barnyard viewing chairs in winter position. Ready, set…
YES! Oh, yes! The flip has been made! Let the viewing begin!
“Doink? Doink?”
Maybe he’ll celebrate tomorrow.

Aww, Doink looks so happy and content lying in the sun! Such a cutie. I bet the 65 degree day was nice! We hit the low 70s earlier this week and it was amazing. Down to the 50s now, but it still feels warm!

He had the curly tail action going this morning when I visited him. He hung out by me. Once Brandy and Jessie figured out I didn’t have treats for them they went back into the shed for some head butting.
Aw, what a cutie patootie! Doink’s impressive physique makes me feel better about Abe, aka Mr. Fats, our bigger Guinea Hog…I keep thinking he’s gaining too much weight and wondering if I’m overfeeding him…but I must remember, he’s a pig! Haha. Hoping now that the chairs are upright, there are only >60 degree days for you!

I love this post. I love your pig. Thanks for sharing.
I felt just like Doink last week as I wanted so much to curl up in the grass and let the warm sun of spring warm my bones. I really enjoyed looking at spring on your farm! I posted what spring looked like on ours last week. Maybe you might like it as much as I enjoyed yours. http://oursimplelife-sc.com/2014/03/10/window/
Happy Spring!

I am with Doink I want to call it spring too. Lately we will have a day that gets in the 50’s and the next day only 20. That seems to be our trend. Just teasing us, here is spring- nope not haha . It is driving me crazy!
