May Queen

 It is May Day Holiday and we always choose one of our girls to be our May Queen.

This is May. It is the blossom of the Hawthorn Tree.

This is Peaches Piggyfriend and we have chosen her this year. " What is this all about?" asks Peaches.

"You really want me to wear this?" asks Peaches. "Seriously?" "It is edible," says Slave. " You are allowed a munch if you like."

Finally!! Not the best photo that we have ever posted but we got there in the end. Thank you, Peaches.

Mom Finally Took Our Easter Photos!!!

Apparently it is very hard to get a good photographer around Easter Time.  Our Mom did not take our photos until today, if you can believe it!  

We are very happy to be celebrating with bunnies, because bunnies like to eat so many of the same foods as we do.  (Okay, we realize these are bunnies on towels, tins, books and cards, but we are not picky!)

I, Scottie, was very good about posing, knowing that I would get a treat afterwards.

While I, Coke, was more intent on getting the book open so I could eat --- I mean, read it!

A very Happy Easter to All!!!

 

Emily Gets to Wear the Easter Bonnet!

 It's not as if any of the Prairie Pigs are usually competing to appear in a photo shoot, so this year when little Emily decided she would volunteer to be the official Easter Prairie Piggy, it was easy to talk Lovely Rita into donating the use of her famous Easter bonnet.  Doesn't Emily look cute in it?

We are still waiting for the snow to melt here so we can have fresh grass and maybe even see some flowers growing outside.  We hope wherever you are for Easter, that there is less snow and more sunshine!

Slave's family always gets together to colour Easter eggs.  This year they made them with piggy-approved herbal designs (cilantro --- yum!) and used onion skins to colour them.  We thought these ones turned out particularly pretty.

We would like to wish all of our readers, all piggies and piggy people everywhere, a very happy Easter.  Eat a chocolate egg, sniff a Spring flower or take a moment to bask in the sun, and if you have an Easter bonnet of your own, make sure to get it out and wear it!

Happy Easter from the Piggyville Girls

 

We are the girls from Piggyville, North Carolina, and we are here to wish all of our friends a very Happy Easter.

I am Shannon ( on the left ) and my friend, Ceilidh, is on the right. She never shows up well in photos just like Fionn Piggyfriend as they are both black piggies with black eyes. They even have the same little patch under their mouths.

We think that our Slave is going to share out these chocolate eggs and we are going to have something yummy for posing for this pigture.

                                              HAPPY EASTER EVERYONE.

Wishing our readers a Happy Easter!

 

"Come with me Benedict," says Slave.

"Oh no!" says Benedict. " I am in the bathroom. Rafael and Valentine told me about being brought here the other day. I hope that I am not going to have a bath"

"Not this time sweetie," says Slave. " We are going to do something special and afterwards you can eat that carrot."

"We are going to wish a very Happy Easter to our readers so please keep still."

"I will eat the mini eggs," says Slave "and you can have some of that carrot for being a good boy. Thank you Benedict."

 

                                       HAPPY EASTER TO EVERYONE AND EVERYPIG!

Spring Cleaning

 Slave says that Spring has sprung. There are flowers in the garden.

Slave says that we should apologise to the Prairie Piggies, who still have snow.

 

We are lucky to have grass all year round, although it is still too cold for us to go out and pick our own yet. 

Slave says that it is time for Spring Cleaning. Well as long as she doesn't expect any help, that is OK by us. 

"Where are we going Rafael?" asks Valentine. " I am not sure but I think that Slave is carrying us upstairs so that can only mean one thing....the BATHROOM!!" Eeek!!

 

 

"We didn't think that she meant that kind of spring cleaning," say the boys.

Both the brothers get messy grease glands and are going to be cleaned up with this jar of Swarfega.

Rafael tried to escape by climbing up a towel that was hanging over the edge of the bath.....

......but it fell on his head.

Now they are back downstairs drying in a box of towels and will be rewarded with a slice of juicy melon.

Spring, Glorious Spring!

Hi everyone!  I am Ernie from the Prairie Pigs and I am here to wish you all a happy first day of Spring. That part is perfectly sincere, but wearing this silly daisy costume is not my favourite thing in the world, to be honest.  Slave tried it on Charlotte first, but wily Charlotte kept tearing the head-dress off and making sure her eyes were closed when the picture was taken so Slave went looking for other spokespigs.

I don't like it either, but I know that there are rewards (EDIBLE rewards!!!) if a pig behaves himself for a few minutes, so I put up with it.  If we ever find out where she hides this costume between photo shoots, it will meet a violent end.  A few nibbles here and there and it will not be quite so photogenic.  HAH!!!

I mean it about wishing everyone a happy first day of Spring, though.  Winter is very long up here in Canada and while the ground is covered with snow, there is no grass for our afternoon snack.  When Spring comes, the snow melts and the grass grows again, and we will get a pile of it everyday, not to mention chickweed and plantain and all sorts of other tasty weeds.  Mmmmmm!  I can almost taste them already.  Come on Spring!!!
