Beautifully written, professionally photographed and charmingly presented it is, for me and many others I am sure, the perfect start to the weekend. Not only is it so refreshing to look at and read, but it is also informative and I have come away feeling both enriched and more knowledgeable. The kids are delightful and I am certain the source of much pleasure [alongside the hard work].<br /><br />I am so sorry that your mother is not, post operatively, making the progress she should. I trust that any problems will soon be sorted.<br /><br />Finally, dear RO, thank you for such a kind and thoughtful message left on my recent &#39;Explanatory Note&#39;. It was, and is, more valued and appreciated than words can describe.Edith Hopehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14155038749736611011noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6726724983169046453.post-52519138906388365052010-06-11T16:05:17.328+01:002010-06-11T16:05:17.328+01:00I love your pics.

I feel calmer just reading about it. Thanks for taking us on such a long, leisurely stroll.<br /><br />The kids are adorable. My uncle and his family lived for a while on a farm (it was my aunt who was the farmer), including a small herd of goats. When their family went on vacation, my husband and I would goat-sit. Once we eventually got the goat onto the milking stand, I remember it as a restful experience, squirting the milk into the pail. Never quite developed a taste for goat&#39;s milk, unfortunately. If I&#39;d only known how to make cheese!Helenhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14527649631254016576noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6726724983169046453.post-83678369152521111032010-06-11T12:59:21.614+01:002010-06-11T12:59:21.614+01:00Many people raise goats in the area I live in. If you raise goats, they call you a &#39;goat roper&#39; lol.<br /><br />A friend of ours raises them, and their goat just had two kids. I got to hold one of them, and it was too cute! Loved all of your pictures, and I&#39;m happy to see Stilton in your header again :DKynahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13222304237028745181noreply@blogger.com
