The start of another wonderful week on the farm

There is really not a whole lot to report. I really think Abbey is being stingy and holding out on me though..lol. She keeps looking back at me while I am milking her as if to say, "now that is ENOUGH!", it really seems to irritate her! Yesterday I got a record high of approximately 11/2 gallons, yippee! I have decided to stick with twice a day milking until I have to start my ASAP classes in a couple of months. Those will be in the evenings from about 5:30 to 7:30, I believe, and then another 3 hours there and back! I am not complaining though. There are some things in life you just have to do that you aren't real excited about. It's all good. Thank God for my husband! He is awesome! :)
I have cut my fingernails very, very short. I thought that may help in getting the suction cups off of Abbey's teats without causing her any discomfort whatsoever. I guess I just need practice because she still jumped a little today.
This morning I got a whopping 1/2 gallon, yippee! lol. I am just amazed at this milking machine! It is working like a dream and really is fairly easy to take care of and keep clean. I am going to order me a nice red wagon today(only because my husband thinks I should, lol ;) )it has a lot higher sides than the one I am using now and bigger tires. Looks real nice!

We are going to bring the new refrigerator down here today. Al brought the doors down Friday and I have them all cleaned up and ready to go. So now, we will have an extra fridge in the "mancave"(that's what Al calls it, lol!)I call it a garage!
