Relocating to Puna

[pslamont]

My teenage guests have been a delight. They have worked and played hard both. We managed to build a new pen successfully for pigs and I am now the proud mommy of three baby girl pigs. They appear to be happy in the new "digs". They are enthusiastically eating pig food, fresh fruit and veggies and drinking from our wonderfully designed and built watering system. The pigs names are Pinky, Nibbles and Smudge. The 14 year old, Sadie, managed to be the first to get them to eat directly from her hand. In addition to the planned foods, they appear to LOVE the fruit of the wild Wiwi plants. I imagine in a couple weeks I will have them pretty well trained as pets. We had intended to get an unrelated boar, but have decided to wait till next spring when we desire to breed them. By then we will have to expand the pigpens anyway.

The house is amazing. The trusses will arrive on Monday. Every day I see incredible progress and find myself smiling hapily as I walk the site.

Alex the gardner has caught up all the major projects and spent the day weeding the first half of the garden today. I ripped out some old plants and planted another full row of lettuce.

Met another new neighbor. He and his wife teach in Japan at a university and visit here three times a year. He owns a small house down the road.

Not much more news for now. I continue to encourage you all to get in touch and come by to see the progress.
