Heritage Home~Place Herbals

Gotta love it! Our grandson, Kobe 3 yr, caught his first fish in our small pond. Actually, he caught three fish! He likes to count that he caught four fish...the one daddy reeled in. Grandchildren are so wonderful. They make me laugh!

Here comes 'Babe'. She's ready to be milked this evening. The weather today was awesome! It is so nice to be out of the winter gear at milking time. Check out the new 'spring time rubber boots'! Now that's stylin'! Babe is an awesome cow. Very gentle. We have really enjoyed the milk! She is giving almost four gallons a day. We sell milk, which helps with feed/hay costs. I make kefir, yogurt, buttermilk, sour cream and mozzarella cheese with the cow milk. Oh...and of course, ice cream! We will be hosting a Cheese Making Workshop on April 10 th here at Heritage Home~Place. Then we can make more types of cheeses with Babe's milk! Our 'Milk Barn' is all set up nicely. Babe and I spend morning and night together. I sing to her throughout the milking process. She will moo in disapproval if I stop singing. :-)

It is always hard to lose a 'pet'. Hunter was a yearling here on the farm. He did not fair well through the harsh winter. He passed away this morning in Anna's arms. A sad day. We will miss you Hunter.

Hank and I are trying to get the mud moved around. I had to dig a trench on the outside of the milk barn to release trapped water. Hank laid a perforated tube and covored it up. Hopefully this will help keep the water drained out of the milk barn. Mud pies anyone? We moved Babe into the Goat pasture while I moved old hay into the Goat enclosure pen. It was so muddy. This is our 'glamour shot'.
