inside a giant bubble under water-just floating, waiting for "it"-whatever "it" may be. I feel
something moving in the air around me-like something moving towards me, us. Good or bad I can't
tell yet, but I don't feel afraid just anxious. Kids are enjoying public school, making friends and socializing.
Their grades so far are meeting my expectations and their sleep patterns are leveling out too. I have picked
up a few more bread/pastry orders and another milk order. Need to get the new girls milking soon, Poor
Fatima is getting tired..LOL .
Checking out another Milking nanny this afternoon I think, We have firmly decided to put our efforts
100% into the dairy/cheese business. Edd has also mentioned he may want to go back to school for veterinary
medicine (after diagnosing and treating the goats with me this week) which I think is awesome. His Birth FAther
in Costa Rica is a Vet too. Neat huh? Speaking of treating the goats, I learned to trim hooves this week. I think I
did a pretty good job and i only got knicked once. Fati kicked while I was trimming her rear hoof and the shears
jabbed 2 of my fingers. Thankfully not serious but hurt like hell.
The last of the chickens is recovering from "chicken pox" ,Flock pox is the technical term for it. They
were supposed o be immunized when we purchased them, obviously they weren't. The little buttercup
roosters got it the worst. Esme developed a case of "wet pox"-it got into his mouth and throat-making it
difficult for him to breathe. Until Monday eve we were not sure he wopuld make it. I cried and prayed and
felt horrible as I placed him in his tree Sunday for what I was sure was the last time. Layla stood there with me
listening to him gasp and wept. He has survived 2 attacks from other birds as a peep and a juvenile and I just
couldn't bare to lose him now. Luckily this morning he is sounding better and eating/drinking normally.
I made goats milk ricotta last night. Was attempting to make feta, but after my 2nd glass of wine
I missed a step and got ricotta! What a happy accident. It was delicious. Layla took some to school for lunch
with a few slices of salted crust parmesan/rosemary bread that I baked last night as well. I have to go soon
and bake scones for a fresh order due today. Weatehr has been very strange today, sunny 1 minute, gusting
winds the next, drizzly rain in between, very strange in deed feels like hurricane weather but theres nothing
brewing close by anywhere. Jr. and his brothers are starting the goat pasture fence this week( a tattoo barter)
and my friend/client Rick is coming on Friday for more tatt work and to start the back deck we bartered for.
Chancha the pic has gained about 50 lbs and is looking healthy and playful. She loves to have her ears and jowls scratched.
Make sher legs go weak. Gotta go, more later. Have a blessed day.
