Indian Summer Days

Today is sunny and very warm. We took the opportunity to get outside and clean out the barn, bring in some hay, and let my herd browse on the dead leaves and pods.

I love days like this!

 

I'm Inspired

to make cheese again...sigh. If I only had extra time and milk.

This year I only have two does fresh because I knew I wouldn't have the time I needed to devote to a lot of kids and milking. In a month or two however, I will bring a nice little Miniature Nubian buck in from a friend for some new blood lines and get my yearlings bred.

We are driving to Oregon in a week or two to get a very nice Nubian buck kid with nice Remuda lines from a farm that carries those lines as well as SAND-BUR-KIDS, which I'm pleased to bring back in. Humfleet Nubians.

 

I'm really dreaming of having this place spruced up and having classes and tours here a few times a year. I love this place and the critters, soaps, and cheeses, and I'd love to share it all.

THis summer I am going to practice this cheese, a nice raw aged chevre' with a bloomy rind.

 

The photos below are from several  years ago...nostalgia setting in. *U*

Fresh egg- still wet!

The puppies have their eyes open now and wag their tails, wrestle, and baby bark and baby growl. They are adorable! Email me if you're interested: dailywalkinfarm@yahoo .com

Fancy getting a morning scratch.

My baby! Black Pearl has the greatest personality. I just adore her. She's a first generation miniature Nubian with frosted ears, moon spotting and a blaze. Isn't she lovely?

My 3 stooges, er, I mean my 3 Royal Palm toms.
