They do not like being ridden.

Did you find this out the hard way? 

I did but I was a fast learner. Horses know what low branches can do for them and pigs know what a fence can do.

I was just a few years old but we had a yuuuuuuge elm tree on our property that was killed off my Dutch Elm Disease. It wasn't a hazard to anything and my father just left it fall a limb at a time and I had to clean them up. I believe that hickory, chestnut, and walnut trees are close relatives and I would expect that any of their fruits could be used to finish off a hog. Around here, it's a nuisance when the walnuts drop and I would think that most people would be glad to let any hog farmer clean them up for them. I raised a few pigs in my days and I thought/think that they are cool animals. They're pretty smart and somewhat predictable. They do not like being ridden.

When I was small we had big Elm Trees which were on the school property, bordering our school. During the Fall we children, at recess, would go out and play leaf catch as the leaves would fall from the trees. . The elm trees were a favorite for the game. Each time a gust of *Fall wind* would arrive, a vast amount of leaves would turn loose from their branches and we would scramble to catch as many as we could before they would touch the ground, thus adding up our points of catches., such simple activities but cherished memories just the same.

He does his help to help me in the orchard and the raised beds. In harvesting things he is actually pretty decent to be four. His older brother could care less unless it is a fig. .

He is only 4 and on the smaller side. I told him when he was 5 he could help me so next spring and summer.

Why is it that when they're four and incapable, they really want to help but when they're 18 and very capable, they're nowhere around? This is one of the ironies in life.

Wheels and curvy things seem to have influenced my son!
 More interesting than bees.
