Hello all ya'll! It's been a busy month. Sorry I haven't written much. It's currently 8am and I have a load of washing going and an extra baby to watch so I will try to be brief.
1. We got a new DOG! She is 2yrs old, and her name is Harley. She is super adorable (as all black labs are), and so far hasn't killed any chickens! Actually she is supposed to hunt really well, and if her fetching skills are any sign she may be the best dog I have ever seen. She's good with Jackson and Wally so we feel pretty good about her.
2. Projects- or lack there of. With helping at the farm while the in-laws were gone, and a sick baby the rest of the time, my sewing machine has been neglected. Hopefully this weekend I can get few stitches in.
3. BUTTER! I made my first batch of butter. There was a serious learning curve as I had to pull cream off 3 times before I had enough cream to actually make butter. Jason thinks it's good, I'm not that impressed. It smells too creamy for me (I think it's because of all the work getting the true cream). I plan to make another batch in a few days, hopefully it goes more smoothly. I did find a farm in NY that makes just butter and yogurt from their Jerseys. I am hoping to get in touch with them this next week.
