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.
Exactly!! I know the feeling, the animals always come first :)
ReplyDeleteHi, John. I'm sorry, I don't know about goats -- what do you mean that they're at the end of their lactations? I thought they gave milk all year round. *city girl blushes* Sorry for my ignorance!
ReplyDeleteAlso, I love your goats. So beautiful. And here via the Beek Geeks rec on Twitter.
The end of their lactation means they will stop producing milk to get themselves and the kid(s) they are carrying ready to be born.
