The weatherman lies—he lies, he lies, he lies, and he gets paid to do it! LOL Standard summer forecast here is—hot, hazy, humid with a chance of afternoon thunderboomer. The weatherman might as well take the summer off, here, anyway!
I think that’s why they get so excited at even the hint of a hurricane!
I love goats, and have had milk goats/toggenburgs. Not much grass around here to feed cows, we have really sandy soil, and what grass there is doesn’t have much nutrition. Milking anything is great—if you could just do it when you needed milk! Twice a day, 365 gets old fast, esp if you have to work, and my crowd doesn’t like goat milk anyway. Sigh.
Men are such strange creatures sometimes, aren’t they? We sell chainsaws and trimmers and lawnmowers at the garden center, and guys will come in, I’ll tell tehm something, and they’ll say no—I want to talk to the man. Granted, he knows a lot more than I do, but I can tell them basic stuff!
Heaven forbid a man come in with a chainsaw with the safety brake on. All it requires to fix it is flipping a lever. Oh no. I carry it out to the shop, hand it to Wally and say, here—brake’s on. You tell him. LOL
LOL, Yes, people are odd.
There was a time that I thought I needed to know all about mechanics, after all my dad was a good one and I grew up in the garage with him, learned about sizes, by getting his tools for him, as in “now, I need the 5/16th socket for the wrench”.
Do I have to admit that I don’t like men in my kitchen to try their hands at cooking?
You could make cheese out of the extra goat milk, feed it to the animals, get a hog and pour the extra milk over their grains to soak, they love it and the meat is so sweet.
I used it for cooking almost everything, bread, gravy, and there is nothing that tops goat milk to make puddings and ice cream with.
When I had goats, I did not drink soft drinks, a little cocoa mix added and shook well, or even a half teaspoon of Strawberry Jello, added to a glass of milk and add ice.
I took it to work, in a jar and didn’t buy cokes for that break time drink.
No, I never found a way to escape the endless washing of milk buckets, jars and strainers.
Or a way to get out of the milking of them, which was my job alone.
Do I have to admit that I have been known to use a dirty bucket and pour it straight into the hog feed or into the containers that we had out there to feed milk to the chickens, ducks and geese......
And some goats will drink it if you give it to them.
I do know that babies thrive on it and I have less allergies on goat milk.
