Now for the possible blog topic. You all will remember my blogs last year about the pot-bellied pig Fat Albert and Magnatli, and their apparent fondness for each other. Well, I have a Fat Albert tale to tell this year, but not involving a horse. About a month ago Karl (my husband) was mowing the yard next to Albert's paddock. There was a dried up palm frond right in his path which I picked up and tossed over into Albert's paddock to get it out of the way. The next morning I looked out of the window and the palm frond was gone - totally disappeared. No, Karl had not moved it. So I'm staring at the doorway to Albert's house - and it looks to me like there are palm frond pieces sticking out of it. Sure enough, Albert had taken the palm frond into his house and shredded it for bedding! So I put a couple more palm fronds in with him, and lo and behold he picked them up and carried them to his house, broke them up so he could get them in, and shredded them. I have since given him a number more - that house is well bedded down and our 32 degree a.m. temperatures (once in a while) don't bother him a bit. There are several pictures of Fat Albert attached - including one mug shot showing how handsome he is ! :>) !
Hope you all are doing well and keeping as warm as possible.
