Well to be precise by the end of the day yesterday I smelt like milk. Hopefully in a good way. It was an odor that hung about me and made all the animals snuffle when I was close.
So I figured I would go the whole hog last night and make myself a special Friday night drink with cold milk. A milky cocktail. . Homemade yoghurt, fresh milk, farm honey, ice, local strawberries and brandy. Blend. I was thirsty and hot so I poured it into a big red wine glass. It needs a name. 
But I was too tired to name it so I just drunk it. I know they say you should not drink alone. But that is just another one of those stupid rules. It was after 5pm. Good enough.
While I was drinking this delightful concoction I looked at the pig bucket, waiting patiently to be carried out and realised it had the same ingrdients, but with a little bread and watermelon rind and of course no brandy. Pretty similar though!
So I added a little corn and took it to the grubby Shush sisters. 
Don’t they look sweet. However in the interests of full disclosure I thought it only fair you should see what pigs they make of themselves when drinking their cocktail. They have to have their snouts where another snout is evidently. So they chase each others heads around the bowl. Snorting and sucking and squealing at each other. 
And I thought I could dress these two up pretty and turn them into therapy pigs. I have another think coming!
Good morning. Daisy is standing at the gate Mooing loudly at the house and it is only 5.15. So I had better get a wriggle on. Beginning another milky day.
Yesterday Daisy gave five and a half gallons of white milky milk altogether. Three of which was in the morning. My milking bucket is already at capacity.
Have a lovely day.

Morning, c and her farmie! Guests coming for the weekend so must get a move on. And the fridge door just fell off. #%€$!

The Shush sisters get as much on their faces as they do in their mouths.
They looked like they enjoyed it! 🙂
There’s a whole lot worse than smelling like a gentle-faced ruminant, right Celi?
Good morning, and have a lovely weekend!
Now everyone knows what it means when people say…you eat just like a pig/hog! 🙂

Pink shush gets my vote too……you are so inventive and creative Celi. I love your
zest for life. Lucky for us its “catchy”………
I had hail again last night so off I go to survey the garden…..Colorado in early June
is risky for gardening !
I think you should call the cocktail – Milmaid’s Special Treat – or somesuch play on words.
The Sush sisters look so naughty and pertty – fabulous photo. And I don’t quite believe you took a photo of their food!
that was meant to read And I don’t quite believe you took a photo of their food and for it to look so good!
I could not quite believe that i took a photo of their feed either!! laugh! c
Oh no! Craving a Pink Shush now. Looks delicious and, with a little bit of imagination, one could even consider it a health-food drink.
Sheer pig pleasure.
Cinder’s Pink Shush!! 🙂 I just want to know how you get your dishes so sparkly clean and shiny…do you do them by hand and dry them off instead of drip dry?? I don’t use commercial dishwashing detergent so mine are always a little dull…I know, stupid question…The Shush sisters are the best fed piggies I know and to sit down with that lovely cocktail at the end of a day, like you had…priceless!!
PInk Shush is perfect! ( and the Shush sisters so approve …while maintaining their cuteness…)
I missed reading for a time, and came back to find all these new beauties…It is such a pleasure to read of your love for everything in your care – not to mention your cocktails, I adore cocktails…Thank you, from the bottom of my heart. I wish you endless glorious evenings of cocktails on the veranda 🙂
Ah, the sweet smell of cows. Living next door to a dairy farm what is smelly to our city friends is just manure to us. 250 cows can make a bit of a stink but it doesn’t bother us. That is a doozer of a milk cocktail. Brilliant!! And now here’s the scoop. I’ve fallen in love with the Shush Sisters. Perhaps they’ll meet Oswald in one of my tales. Have a wonderful week-end.

So technically you shared a drink with the Shush Sisters… right?
Ah.. well yes, do you think they are too young to drink? c
