I know you’ve all been hanging out for cute piggy pics, so here they are. I am in the process of writing a longer pig post, but it’s not quite coming together, so consider this a little something to keep you going.<\/p>\n

Since I don’t have much to say just now, I thought we could finish with a song. This was one our Grandma used to like to sing on muddy occasions (growing up in England one encounters plenty of muddy occasions). I’ll start and you join in. If you’re not sure of the tune you can listen\u00a0here;<\/a>\u00a0the first chorus is at 37s. Off we go!<\/p>\n

From The Hippopotomus Song\u00a0<\/em>by\u00a0Flanders and Swann, 1957.<\/p>\n
