First official milking this morning.

This is Penelope this morning. I put all 4 kids up in a stall last night so I could milk in the morning. Abby too. This is what Penelope looked like. I milked out almost a half gallon! And left some for the kids too. Very impressive for such a small doe and a first freshener too. Her teats go forward a bit but I don't mind at all. She is very easy to milk and pretty fast too.




And this is after milking. You can see her teats now.

The answer my friend, is blowing in the wind...

the answer is blowing in the wind.

Saturday, clothes blowing in the very strong wind. I had to go outside several times to chase sheets. Once out in the field next door. But they were dry in a few hours. Now, we haven't had rain in 4 days straight! So hopefully we shall dry out too. (And I love that song.)

Good to the last drop.

Well, that must have been really good. Abraham got the last of the warm molasses water this morning. And got his head stuck in the bucket! John Henry thought it was pretty funny!
