James and I went away for 4 days. It was a great trip and all was well taken care of at the farm so I had no worries. As much as I enjoyed our time away, it was great to come home. So why do I have a hard time getting back in the swing of things? Does everyone/anyone else feel this way after a trip?
I was informed folks were tired of looking at peas on my blog. I even had a hard time getting back to blogging. I just didn't have anything to write about or maybe nothing seemed interesting to me. I don't really know what it was.
I'm happy to see the animals and the animal "chores" aren't that big of a deal now that I have a milking machine. Yes, I broke down and finally bought a used one. It's great. I love it and I'm pretty sure our farm sitter appreciated it too. Yesterday James and I moved all the boy goats over to the field so now I need to milk at night too. The machine will really save my hands. We got about 3 gallons of milk today. Tomorrow has to be a cheese making day.
Roxie (the pig) is due in 2 weeks. I'm looking forward to piglets. I hope all goes well since I know very little about raising tiny ones. I'm counting on Roxie to know just what to do when the time comes. I wonder what sow milk tastes like. I may have to steal a little.
The turkeys are growing fast and are having a harder and harder time getting through the fence but yesterday a woman stopped to tell me she threw one back over our fence that was out by the road. I thanked her and gave her a bottle of goat's milk lotion. I hope they don't fly over the fence once they're too big to walk through it. While we were gone the turkey with the bad leg disappeared. I guess I shouldn't be surprised but I felt bad for the little guy.
July looks like a busy month for us with lots of company. Summer has begun. Tomorrow I hope to be back in the groove.

You're just experiencing 'vacation lag'. Everything will be fine soon. Run around barefoot and play with Roxie. You'll find lots to write about. :O)
ReplyDeleteI go through the same thing. It doesn't help when its 95 outside.
ReplyDeleteWelcome home! It's nice to have a farm sitter that you can trust. Take more trips if you can; I think breaks are definitely necessary. (I am dreaming of taking a trip to New Orleans these days... or the beach would be nice too!) Phyllis
ReplyDeleteI was starting to wonder if you vanished. I kept noticing that there was no change on the Peas. Glad you had a little get away! I can't wait to see your milking machine sometime. Maybe we can come up for a short visit after the piglets are born. I miss you!!

Peas are almost in season. My sister had Christmas up for I can't remember how long. Glad you are back safely. It is going to get cooler now.
