This really is her dream coming true. I know how badly she wanted goats, I know how she planned and how her dear sweet husband built pens, gates and finally they had their barn built. He has been working in the barn, sealing off the plywood so the off gassing of the glues don't make her sick. His is a labor of true, real , never ending love so that his partner in life, his love, his wife, can have her dreams come true. They are a beautiful couple that God truly made as one.

my smile got bigger and bigger as I read the last few entries of your journal. and @Baymule your last post made my eyes leak. you are so right, to watch their love for one another is something special. and @Devonviolet now do you believe me? told you patience is a virtue and it would all come together. when you get covered in cheese and have more kefir than you will ever drink just remember that the dogs, chickens and ducks will become your best friends if you share. i'm so tickled for you girl.

I truly understand how you must be feeling like you are on top of the world right now.

How much milk do you get from your kinders?

Kinda variable... I sold a doe last weekend that would easily give a gallon a day. I'm milking one now that's being a real snot and only giving about 3 quarts. I know she's capable of a gallon, but she's annoyed because I'm letting DH do the morning milking now and she does. not. like. change!

In the midst, of the bad storms here last night, the kids did not get separated from their moms. And since we have church this morning, I decided not to milk this morning.

I'm thinking this afternoon, I will pasteurize the milk, that I have and make some yogurt.

hope everyone came through the storms okay!
