Gratuitous Porch Post
For my last birthday my sister sent me a wooden tray with four legs, a tail and a pig's head. (Friends of hers asked, "Don't you like your sister?") Pep and I have collected some weird pig-paraphernalia over the years to decorate the BBQ Compound, but this has to be the oddest addition yet. Here you can see the glorious pig tray from a head-on perspective:
And here is the pig tray in silhouette:
The tray part of the pig is about 8" wide and slightly concave. When I first beheld it, I thought it was supposed to be a serving tray for Hawaiian-style BBQ. But, somehow that didn't seem likely. So, Mr. Pig Tray became a plant support for the porch.
Later, Sissy somehow discovered two more of these priceless objects d'art: a second adult pig tray and a baby pig tray. She gave these to me a couple of months ago and now I'm trying to decide how best to use two more pig trays.
So help a sister out, Llama readers! Do you have creative, unusual, or artisitc ideas for me to use with my other pig trays? Put 'em in the coments!
(And don't suggest I trash my beautiful pigs!!!)

I'll bring the beer.
What time is dinner?
