Pigs on the wing


Well, not really pigs on the wing, but pigs in the wood at least. The forest today was moist under foot, drizzly and damp, but with the calm of a earned rest after a job well done as the trees continue to discard their leafs. The oaks are stubbornly holding on to their leafs and the pines are of course remain reluctant to show change and are beginning to stand out from the crowd. The pigs were out and around the woods as it's pannage time, where the pigs grub around for acorns, although today they were feasting on chestnuts which have been particularly good this season. They followed the dog and I, which was nice and created a minor Moses feel, leading a tiny band of snorters to new nut rich lands, until the follow became a chase and we made for the nearest fence and safety.
