Piggy round-up

We got these new metal flying pigs last week. They keep moving around the nursery, shifting position like those giant flocks of blackbirds. Lately they have been bunching up in a circle. Now I see why. Iris, our old cat, has been rounding them up.

After she gets them in a tidy circle, she lays in the middle, as if they were protecting her. For the past two afternoons, we have found her lying smack in the center of the piggy round-up. It is too cute!
