Today's the Big Day!

At around 1:30 PM today I will find out what they say in court about proceeding with getting my license!! I'm a little nervous but trying not to be. I will just be glad when this is over! Lord, whatever the outcome, I will love, honor and serve you! No matter what..you are in control.
Ugh..this morning was rainy and icky outside...DIRTY UDDERS..lol! Everything went off without a hitch today, except one little thing..I think I might have taken one of the teat cups off and hurt Abbey because she pulled her leg up like it hurt...sorry Abbey girl! :(  Adam came in today and I tied him up so he couldn't get around any of the milking equipment and do any damage ;)  I brushed them both because they were dripping wet. I really thought that this milker thing was going to be a LOT harder to get accustomed to but it has really been WONDERFUL!! Thank you Tammy and thank you Willie!!
The only thing I think I need to work on now as far as the milker is when one of the quarters is done, I think I need to be getting the plug in there quicker because they all end up falling off. I am concentrating so much on not pulling to hard or hurting Abbey that I'm not having that plug ready to go..but this morning..it's a big thumb's up!! I got just a tad under a gallon...I really thought I would be getting more but maybe it just takes time.
It's not going to be long before I am ready to tackle making mozzarella! I need to order the stuff I will need to make it.
I noticed the other day while cleaning a glass that I can usually fit my hand into that it was impossible to get in there and clean it! What's up with that?? Is that swelling or muscle...LOL!
I am so happy and grateful about my new adventures with Abbey..she is SO wonderful...I couldn't have dreamed of a better cow for a beginner milker!! OH..I almost forgot to mention..she has not pooed or peed in the stanchion for the last 3 days!!!!! Yippee, Hooray, Woot Woot!!! I am SO proud of her!
Well, I have to sign off and think about getting ready to go to Harrisonburg to court...hopefully I will come back this evening with good news!!
God Bless!
