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

Oh Miss C you are going to miss that milk and cream …. but we all want Daisy completely well again! Has the vet confirmed if she and Queenie are pregnant yet? I am birdsitting an African Grey parrot for 11 days – now there is a new experience 🙂 Laura
NO word on the pregnancy status yet, hopefully by the end of the week.. c
What wonderful opportunities you are giving to these lovely young people 🙂
I love the name Professor for that little cat, she looks a lot like my moms. I’m glad you’re getting some help . Take care of your self, I didn’t while I was in Germany and now I have shingles , too much stress.
OOOH, I’m sorry to hear this. I’ve heard shingles is very painful.
August is always a sad and happy time for me also. The work starts to easy off in preparation for harvest. A slight slowing down. Then gearing way back up to gather in the September harvest..another slow down until late October when we finish up the corn.

As a mother of sons (both grown) who live a far flung distance from me, like 16-24hrs on a plane, what you have done for Grace and her mum is good. Very good. Good morning to you, c, and to Grace, and the farmy.
What did Grace make for you? It looks yummy!
Love the name of The Professor- seems to fit him well!
I think Grace is in the best of places and the best of hands. I like the look of her cooking!
C. I haven’t been able to comment for a week or so..have been up in B.C. without internet…which was kind of nice to be unplugged for awhile! I agree…Grace is in the best of hands in the best of places…an experience she will never forget! We go to a tiny, family, owned Korean restaurant every week for lunch…it is the best food…we can’t even eat rice now without Kimchee! 🙂 What are those little meat balls? that Grace prepared?
Sending Daisy healing thoughts for a long R & R…and you too! xo
I can’t eat anything anymore without Kimchi, lol
Those are just ordinary meat balls. Her mother has sent us her recipe for kimchi, Gracie has helped her make it before so we are going to give it a go.. exciting! c
Good for Daisy! And good for you! With Grace there you have help and a human to interact too 😉 hehehehe. The professor is a cute little thing. My kids want a cat, but we’ll see. We already have two dogs, three fish, one turtle (and I like to add 4 children to that), so we are kind of crowded here 😉
Good day to you too C

I had not idea you had a turtle, I love turtles!! have a good one.. c
The Farmy is so suited to a small team, and exchange of talents… another wonderful step in its evolution 🙂 Love the kitty names. And although it’s unfortunate that milking is in hiatus, retiring to go on another day is better in the circumstances. Enjoy this “quieter” part of the summer… flower gardening, I think, feeds the soul 🙂
The look on little kitten’s face is very professorial and inquisitive, perfect name. Am very impressed that Grace would come all the way to the Farmy as her ‘holiday’. Unfortunately traveling alone, especially for women, is still a bit risky so I can understand her Mother’s concern. Very considerate for you to post her photo on your blog. Please catch up on some rest and give Daisy a hug from me.
Grace can cook?? Oh my… I’d be dancing a jig if I had a cook helping out here! I’m happy your load is lightening – now if all of the critters would cooperate!
Poppy is also like a little kid: one can get away with so much more mischief when one is ridiculously cute! 😉 Delighted you’ve got good help on your hands, hoping Miss Daisy finds real healing swiftly, and sending many hugs to you and all of the farmy!!!

What a blessing to have helping hands with the farm work. You have needed this for quite some time.
