Do you see The Professor doing his high wire act? I love his new name. I wonder what he calls himself. 
Grace my woofer/farm hand from Korea told me that her mother is worried about her travelling around America by herself. So though I do not ususally show faces we thought we would put a picture of her on the blog every now and then so her mother can see that she is safe and well. 
Yesterday she and Berit gardened and worked on taking down old fences. We ate well and worked hard and I was very happy with the work my little team achieved. 
Poppy is just like a dog,if she does not get a good walk every day she is wild and naughty. 
After consultation with the vet. Daisy has been milked for the last time and each quarter has been chemically dried up. She is exhausted and fragile. Though healthy now, she is in dire need of rest and recuperation. So after her last milking I escorted her out into Daisy’s paddock, where she has not been since her accident. Her water is clean and filled to the brim and I let the sheep in there as well for company. I leave her alone now. And that is the end of the dairy season for this year. I am a bit sad. But relieved that now she can rest and hopefully regain her vigor. Poor old Daisy. She has had a time of it this year. 
Grace can cook as well. Isn’t that just wonderful.
The last of the chickens went to the poultry processing plant this morning. My work is now officially halved.
I hope you all have a lovely day.
Your friend on the farmy

I think it’s so great that you have helping hands on the Farmy. I hope Daisy’s break from lactating gets her back on her feet … And are you thinking of lots of things to do with the chicken you’ll be eating soon?
Yes i hope she gets stronger too, it has all taken its toll on this big animal. These chickens will be especially tasty, there are six fine roosters in there!..c
I’m so glad you now have less work. Enjoy the respite. I’ve been worrying about you. I like The Professor (Prof for short?) as a name. Daisy will love being back in her field.
Love,
ViV xox
The other one is being called Minouchki (did I spell that right?) it is such a pretty cat name. Less work is both frightening and relieving. Now I Ican focus on gardens and food. My flower gardens especially need lots of attention and I am very much looking forward to that. (so are they I bet!) c
Great to see another Minouchki (correct!). I miss my flower garden, but not the backbreaking work!
Welcome to all the new Farmy Faces: Professor High Wire, Invisible Berit, Talented Grace… I hope you will take a little rest now, Miss C?
No milking in the morning in the middle of summer will take some adjusting too, but i am very much looking forward to the early morning gardening.. c
Mothers are the same all over the world. I’d be worried about my daughter, too. But your helper’s mother need not worry about her daughter while she is with you.
I told her she could stay until she goes back to catch her plane, she is a very trusting soul.. c
Looking at the photos from today’s post, she appears to be a gentle soul as well. I hope she will stay. 🙂
I shall go to bed soon very happy . . . . two sensible helpers [Korean food is wonderful: can Grace teach you some recipes for which you can get ingredients?], and two pusses with names I so like!! Am hoping for decent weather for Daisy’s recuperation . . . hope there is some laughter on the farmy . . .
Love your new names for the kitties! Poor Daisy deserves her rest now – she has worked real hard this year.
Rain has finally stopped here and we are looking for clear skies, dry winds and cool temps for at least the next few days. So like you I have a lot to catch up with in the garden. Picked some tomatoes this morning that have fallen off from all the rain, and some are starting to turn mushy. So into the pot to make soup with. Glad I got my onions out of the ground before all that rain hit (6 inches in 4 days!!). Now to try and mow the grass that is real long – may have to wait a while for it to dry a bit more though.
Tell Grace she has a lot of people here that will look out for her too, and if she wants to move around the country at all, I am sure some of us would be glad to put her up!
She flies back home on the 28th, but how about that for an idea, Fellowship Helpers!.. c
So good to hear about the WOOFER as I have been curious about how often you get a good person from the program. The two staying here are not from the program, just people who wanted a new start and wanted to try living like me. We’re thinking of getting a WOOFER at some point though once we have more housing on site.
These two are both fantastic, I am pretty lucky! c
Grace is going to learn so much and what an adventure for her. I agree that Moms are all alike and you are very kind to show a few snappies of her now and then so that her mom can sleep easier. I love the Professor ( but my heart will always belong to Marmalade) and am happy that Daisy will have time to recover and get healthy again even thought it is a little sad. Enjoy your slower pace (hahhhaa) and know that we are all out here waiting for the next post with the next round of lovely pictures.
Time to rest, garden, and plan for the winter. May it all go smoothly
Sounds as if you have had a wonderful summer season. Good all the chores are being completed long before that nasty stuff is once again upon us.
we also have had helpers from Korea this year,. One young lady was hitch-hikeing her way around europe. I can understand why Grace’s mother is so worried..I also was very worried about Wang especially when she arrived here in a car with three young men. Luckily she was safe but it could have been completely wrong and dangerous. She did not seem to even consider what danger she was putting herself in..but that is todays young people!
Very happy to hear that Daisy is on the road to recovery…stay that way Daisy!
Maybe with two helpers you can take things easier for a while….Take care Miss C love you lots xxxx
whoops…that’s a great name….
Ha ha – all your pigs are like dogs 😉
BTW, are those grain silos in the third picture from the top and are they part of the farmy?
There are three of them and they are over at the Kelly Creek farm, I will sell them, you want one? c
Ah! I don’t think I could afford the shipping 😉
How wonderful of you to reassure Grace’s mother with a photo. As a mom, I can totally relate to her concern.
I am sorry to hear about Daisy. But it seems for the best, even though the best is not always what we hope/want.
Hi Grace! You fit right in to the picture there! (moms are like that, worrying. It’s what they do – Ci knows)
Love the new kitty name – glad he decided to whisper it to you.
Off the run the would be naughty dog if left inside on a rather mile day (cool front? what? It’s below 90 in August)
