This is the bag I have been using to carry the calf’s milk bottle and my coffee each morning.  In the evenings it just has the milk bottle.  It helps me carry them upright while I have to carry other things to the barn.  But I won’t be using it much longer. We have weaned Jameson off of the evening feeds and are only doing the morning feeds until our current bag of cow milk replacer runs out.

Still distributing apple bits.  The sheep do like them.

Yesterday, after I feed the calf his bottle, he tried to nurse off of Louella.  She kicked him pretty well. I thought it was so funny.  He should know that she doesn’t have any milk.  This is the photo from after it happened.

I thought these were pretty flowers in the alleyway behind our barn.  I don’t believe I had noticed them before.  It is a common mallow per my PictureThis app.  It’s funny how you can walk by a plant for a long time and not notice it.

Our rooster, DWB, is looking regal in front of the barn.  He is by far our oldest rooster.  He is the lowest in the pecking order but seems to be holding his own.

The pretty white moths are back in the back yard.  They are so magical, almost like little white fairies.  I also happy they are here again this year.

Today the peacock was looking pretty in the barn lighting.  I am so happy we have another peacock after our previous one was killed.  Unfortunately, like our previous one, he doesn’t like to be locked up at night so I am concerned.

Today I finally got to trimming the goats’ hooves.  This is Mr. D looking handsome with the sunshine behind him.

I was admiring his fiber.  It is so soft and pretty.

I made Pork Schnitzel for dinner last night.  I cut the bones and superfluous fat and meat off two pork chops and pounded them with the rolling pin to flatten them.  Then coated them in flour, eggs and panko.  They fried in peanut oil and came out amazing.  A really good use for pork chops in our opinion.  So today we had leftover schnitzel so planned on making sandwiches with this.  Tom really surprised me by coming home with arugula saying he wanted to put it on his sandwich.  He has always called green leafy vegetables “rabbit food” and refused to eat it. I am blown away.  But it really did elevated the sandwiches.  Good job, Tom!
