It's the weather and I'm itchy to be doing something creative. Would rather be playing outside in the dirt getting gardens ready. Yesterday I made 'brick cheese'. That didn't work so well. It was only supposed to press for 12 hours but this a.m. it was still way to crumbly so I put it in the press. I don't have high hopes it's going to stay together.
Last night we waxed two of the cheeses. They look really good. Time will tell. We now have to wait month to see if all this energy has been worth it.
This a.m. I made a chive and garlic cheese from raw cow milk that only needed to be pressed for 2 hours. I wasn't very impressed but the neighbors loved it.
I need to look up on the goat calendars to see when the kids are due to start arriving. I'm looking forward to that.
Our guests left this a.m. They're now driving back to a warmer climate down south a bit. They were great.

Wow, it must be fun running your farm and entertaining guests... and making cheese, it reminded me of being in Vermont again.. I really do love it there. Btw your cheese sounds great and so did the Turkey Jerky!!
Thank you. We feel very fortunate to be living our dream. The people that we get to meet are wonderful! It has been a great experience for our children as well to meet people from all over our country and beyond. They do love showing people their animals too. Our youngest is our best tour guide. It's neat how groups of people will follow her all around listening to her every word.
Stop by some time if you're in the area even if it's just to say "hi".
I certainly will the next time we are in Vt.
