A nighttime visit

Two degrees at 8:30am. Overcast, damp and shivery.

Our garden has been visited again, this time by not one but by what seems like an entire team of destructor machines. Sus bloody scrofa, no doubt after the young bulbs that are starting to shoot just below the surface of what used to be a nicely terraced grassy hideaway and is now looking more like a pile of overgrown rubble.

Hmmm...time to call in the boys in green and their delicious aftershave...

Those wild boar are becoming bores...

Maybe it's a greeting. They just stop by once in a while to let you know they're still there

Holy coldness!! 2 degrees...wow, I guess I should stop complaining about how cold our 50 degree weather has been!

Sorry about your garden!!

Thanks for stopping by my blog...hope you'll be back again soon!

Hi Michelle -- funny kind of greeting. With visitors like that, who needs enemies!

Michelle said...

Well, they're wild boars. They probably know no other way of greeting... ^^
I understand your discomfort though.
(They're a bit like the part of family that nobody likes. They come, turn everything upside down (because they think it's better that way), you have to tidy up behind them and some times you'd like to shoot them. ^^)
