Sunday- a day of rest?

Sunday was a slower day.  Up at my usual 4 am. Did the milking. Spent extra time in the house working on the web page. Did a little filming with Josh. Had a bite of lunch and watched a little TV. Then I swept the barn out to be ready for the Reformed church of Sharon Springs to come for a tour for their rally day.

The tour went great. There were about 20 in the group. One of the group had lived in the Beekman when he was younger and told a couple stories about the crypt and the underground railroad tunnels.

After the group left it was time to milk. The goats are nearing the end of their lactations so milking is much faster now. My former neighbor Trooper Phil made a suprise visit. It was nice to see him and catch up on how he and his family are.  Jason came back from a visit with his parents and we finished up the barn chores.

Sunday is laid to rest.

This is my first time blogging. I'm not quite sure what really should be going here. So I may just do a journal type entry. I'll start with this weekend. Saturday was a busy day cleaning the barn. My dad usually comes over and runs the tractor while I shovel and fork. We got over three-fourths of the barn all cleaned out. Smelled bad but it looks nice.

Had one more doe bred, Trinket, bred to Yaris. That makes 41 that have been with the bucks. Going to be a busy February. March will be busy too will breed about 20 more for then and then 20 yearlings for the end of March beginning of April.

Finished up the day with milking and was done about 6:30. Had a big salad and some salmon. Watched a little TV and that was it.

Til next time.
