It isn’t that I have had nothing to say. It is the fact that what I had to say wasn’t particularly interesting the monotony of life has held me in its clutches for months. First I became full of holiday madness. After that it was tax season madness and now I’m onto spring/summer madness. Life kept turning and I kept saying I’ll get to my blog (journal) soon. Quite apparently I didn’t get there at all.
Yet I’m maintaining this site so I’m dusting off my sad little corner and going to put some thoughts here. Randomly, of course, because let’s be realistic.
So I’ve learned to milk a goat. I didn’t see that one coming when I decided to put on my farm girl hat. Turns out I like being a dairy maid except for the schedule part. That is pinching a bit. I wasn’t quite set up to be at home at exact times this spring/summer. So I’m often hurriedly getting to or from in order to keep my animal more comfortable. I’ll have to have a better plan for next year when we’ll have possibly six milking Does. Yes that is crazy. Yes I have no idea what I’m to do with all that milk. Yes I thankfully like cheese. Honestly I am still wrapping my head around two boys with dairy goat projects and the subsequent number of milking goats that gives us.
But it also gives us a great excuse to wander around saying “CHEEEESE Gromit! CHEEEEESE!”
