My herd of nubians

I started milking again yesterday and got a total of 6 qts from Marian 1.5 qts, Mag 1 qt, Bella 1 qt, Weaver 1 qt and Hattie 1 qt and today I got a qt from Mariah and Hattie. I tasted yesterdays and its was really good I love it fresh and cold. I hope to make cheese soon. Bella is doing better and I won't be able to use her milk since I gave her a thamine shot and a B complex she was off by herself and not acting right but by last night she was back begging for food and eating fine today.

Finally a holiday giving me more time

I can't believe how long it has been, I can't seem to stop going from one to the next and then getting so overwhelmed and tired. OK currently, I have been working on my pottery and like the new mugs but they aren't perfect yet but give me more ideas on how to carve and glaze. @ baby nubian kids disappeared from my pasture last tues/wed very worrying i. if it was coyotes they would have come back for more 2. I was overnighting tuesday night in TN for my job 3. no sign of coyote prints or dogs, dogs would have killed for pleasure and left them usually, 4. Just where did they go and why would someone take them? it was a doe and a buck too. haven't had time to bead but want too and have design ideas that I keep storing, haven't had time to knit either and I drag it everywhere. I have been able to keep the weeds down so far in the garden and it looks good. The zinnia and sunflowers are blooming. So far my lavender has made it thru the winter and part of the summer this is when it gets tricky with the humidity adn the heat we will see.
