Milking before Church, Flower turns 17, busy Sunday...

We had a tight morning getting all the goats milked and off to Church, it was snackfest Sunday so had to be there half an hour early.  The Little had a birthday so we sang to her and she enjoyed turning 8.  She was most impressed with her book that included her favorite versus.  Children obey your parents in the Lord.  She was also so excited that when asked to recite it she quickly found it in her new book and read it.  Too funny.  We came home from an inspiring day at church and feed animals.  We had to go to Flowers birthday in the afternoon.  She was excited to turn 17, she has turned out to be a nice young lady. She had a nice hot dog roast and smores were had by all.

We came home from the birthday party and milked goats again.  We had wormed all the babies and the non milking mothers earlier, we do have a few to worm in my pen yet, all Mokie's are done, as are the weanling's.  Poppie and I made a birthing nest and added it to Pinkie Pie's rabbit hutch, we hope she does well with her first kindle.  She seems to have been redecorating it, our decorations surely didn't meet her standards.  Mokie and I are going to try milking does this morning with Poppie gone, probably won't succeed with Lily but should be able to manage the rest.  I have cheese to make this morning,  will probably be making it several time a week.  We have to get out to Belle's and pick up the extra frig she gave me for eggs, milk and cheese.  I am hoping to make some hard cheeses again this year, didn't make any last year.  Feta again today but will make mozzarella later in the week and then blue feta after that.

I am hoping to get the kitchen cleaned and rearranged today, have to be in there making cheese anyway so will kill two birds with one stone.  The sun is shinning down, the Lord has sent us a beautiful day and I plan on enjoying it.... tomorrow.
