Today was a good day. Mae slept well, we all slept well. We woke up about 6, maybe a little after. Morning chores and a breakfast made up of eggs from our girls and cheese and milk from Marilyn, along with scallions from our garden. Very tasty. We all got cleaned up and got dressed for church. Mae loves church. Mostly because she gets to go and play in the playroom for an hour with some of the other kids from church. After church we came back home and had peanut butter and jelly sandwiches for lunch. Then some...

While Beth was milking Marilyn she was thinking about the Stafford Farmers Market coming up next Saturday. Will it be busy? Will people like the Spiced Apple Cider and Pumpkin Crunch Cake or Smores candles? Her thoughts were interrupted by Lila our wild child of a goat barreling into the garage. She has separation anxiety when Marilyn is away from her, and she...
