 Here are some random pictures and random information. This is 4 gallons of raw jersey (yellow cream) and Holstein (white cream) milk. Rosie had to be dried off so we bought a Jersey milk cow and named her Buttercup. Rosie should freshen soon. We also sold all of our goats and bought 38 laying hens.  The dance in Nixa was a blast. My twins, Joshua and Josiah with Angela and Amber. They shared a very twinnish dance. Two cuties. Jill looked absolutely angelic at the [...]  When we first arrived we staked out our spot. All in a row. Reeling. It’s Angela, no Amber, no Angela. I’m kidding. Amber was wearing red so this is clearly Angela. Little boys that have to sit with their mother. Under the bridge.
Our version of the Grand March. Ladies dressed for the occasion.  The whole time we have had these little piggies (that then became big piggies) they have been the bane of my existence. A pain in my neck. A constant frustration.

I’ve had many many questions from people about the food bill our large family has while trying to eat a healthy. So I thought I’d sit down and work it out for ya’ll. I’ve been meaning to do this but well…there was always something else stealing my brain cells.  When we bought Star we were told that eventually she would need her hooves trimmed. We called the ferrier because we figured we may as well get it done sooner as opposed to later. This message came through on a Yahoo group I am on. I asked Evelyn if I could pass this info on in case anyone is interested. She is located in Lebanon, MO. |
