This little piggy…

Aloha…

My back yard touches the border of the Harris beach state park… and I have written in the past of the myriad of both animals and birds that visit me…

Saturday night my most recent (and unwanted) visitors… were a family of feral pigs… a sow and three piglets…

They spent part of that night rooting in my yard… digging up the woodchips that I had laid down as ground cover… most likely searching for lawn grubs…

They returned Sunday night… and again on Monday…

So… after raking the woodchips back into place… I got out my bottle of ammonia… and spritzed the self same chips with a light dose…

I work up Tuesday morning… no dug up woodchips… and everything remained fine again this morning…

I guessed right… the pigs are repelled by the smell (and taste) of the ammonia… problem solved…!

It is a cool… very rainy… and very windy night here on the southern coast of Oregon… a good night for a fire… listen to Hawaiian music… and read my book…

Thanks for drifting by… and for your continued notes to me…

Aloha oe…
