When the sun goes down...

This post will start off by saying how awesome M & S are. You can tell by their actions how much they truly believe in what they are doing. I have a deep appreciation for them and the farm. I can't leave out little V for her hours of entertainment keep me/us rolling (laughing). Mr. M (M's Dad) b/c he helps w/ numerous projects on the farm and the barn expansion process..last but not least! (He even had on the right barn attire yesterday... boy, I wish I had my camera w/ me.)

(Enough of being sappy) :)

Animal updates: Holy moly we have new chickens, turkeys, and kitties (insert extremly happy face here).

Chickens: Coronations and Light Sussex, Blue and Lavendar Orpingtons, and more Buckeye chickens.
Turkeys: a pair of Narragansett turkeys
Kitties: 5 beautiful tabby cats w/ white paws and chest markings :)
(I feed them and even have Momma Cat coming to me)- S says, "They are going to bring their friends over". I'm just trying to keep some around to kill mice and snakes...but I wouldnt mind all of them staying ;)

Heat Advisory - is it insanely hot these days! I try not to complain but dang it is hard not too. The heat slows me down for some reason...maybe I should lose some more weight... I took 2 breaks yesterday during feeding (Thank the Heavens for the A/C in both the milk rooms). It is so crazy how much one can sweat. I drank 1.5 liters of water last night and didn't have to run to the restroom 100 times b/c it was leaving my body in the form of sweat!!!! I'm glad a/b that b/c of our friendly SPIDERS living in the bathroom (insert scary face here). I used to be extremely afraid of the 8 legged monsters but not so much now. (hehe don't let me lie I still run the other direction..sometimes :).. or I make S clean the boots out just to make sure there are NO monsters in there.)

DHEC gave us the green light to start building the new milking parlor!!!! You may have an idea how exciting this truly is! Now we are waiting on SCDA's approval for the kitchen to start making cheese, custard, and ice cream! :P As of this current moment the barn/farm is in transition..so, things can be at times out of control..fun part is working the kinks out.

I wish I had some pictures for you but I don't maybe next week :) Until then we are 'knee deep in' work!
