Milking Parlor

An incredible amount of work was done on the milking parlor last weekend! It was truly like a miracle. My granddaughter will post some pictures soon. Everyone did a wonderful job and worked so hard. The weather couldn't have been more beautiful. It has a roof on it so Jack can now get out of the rain! I so enjoyed having everyone here, and having them here for dinner two nights in a row!
My grandsons made a wonderful wooden stand to attach the corn sheller to. It works so well. It is very sturdy and you can put a bucket underneath to catch the kernels. We grew an old variety this year called Hickory King for cornmeal. It is a white corn that is open-pollinated and the kernels are huge!
Hope things are going well for you!

Farm Help

Our children and grandchildren that live fairly close all came last weekend to help with several things. The guys set the posts for the new milking parlor (this is very exciting! We have been milking outside for over two years!), repaired a lot of fencing, reinforced the bucks' pen (so they can't get to the does!), helped with chores, and I'm sure things that I'm not listing. Two of my grandsons built a pen for the little chicks that we hatched out and did a wonderful job. It is so cute! And the chicks are very happy. It was so wonderful to have their company!
I hope you are enjoying your day and everything that God has blessed you with!
