Is this your hat?

Boo the Savage is the great returner of found objects. The Verandah is a litter of interesting finds, like a little boys pockets but with a canine influence.

I forgot to tell you yesterday that Queenie (who would not look at you for a photograph) was bred by The Lady Vet on Sunday. Easily too so that was a relief. Now we wait and see if it takes. We will see if True Grit lives up to his name. Let’s hope we have two gestating bovines.

Good morning. Yesterday a lovely lady and her daughter came to visit.  She is going to help John mind the animals while I am away in Canada.  Yesterday she helped me pick cherries.   In my absence she would have milked Daisy (who will not dry up) too but I have re-organised Daisy’s schedule into one late in the evening milking so that John can do it after work, which will be easier on the nerves of the cow. Let’s hope she does not Kick Up a Fuss. But at 25 pounds of milk (2 1/2 gallons – about 10 litres)  she is still giving way too much to be safely stopped.

You and I are off to the Rocky mountains in Eight days!

We did get rain early yesterday, so if it stays clear and dry today (so far so good) I shall turn the last little bit of hay over again this afternoon.

Our non GM corn that survived the flooding is doing very well. My animals will eat every single piece of these plants this summer.  They love sweet-corn stalks.

This morning the Old Codger and I are going grocery shopping.

Have a lovely day.

your friend, celi
