It's been pretty exciting and busy around here as of late. Spring pretty much decided to arrive, albeit a very wet one, and so the gardening has started in earnest. Additionally, our first-calf Jersey heifer finally decided to give it up and calve, and so last weekend we welcomed Blossom to the farm's fold on a drizzly but beautiful Sunday morning. Everything went as smooth as could be. Baby is strong and healthy, Momma is sound, quiet, and milking like an experienced cow. We're putting up close to 5 gallons of milk per day! Which means it's time for me to get busy.
We've already had the first homemade ice cream from the fresh cream; it was Oh so good! Next week I'll be jumping right back into making fresh cheese
with the milk. Cannot wait for that again, and to try some of the soft cheese in my homemade ravioli (the newest trick I learned this week - how to make homemade ravioli).
But for now, here are a couple of my favorite pics of the newborn babe for your viewing pleasure :)
