I need a way to get all of these photos from the cruise up. What better way than to update y’all on whats new here? I have so many more so watch out for random swim suit photos in the dead of winter. ;)
This week we clabbered some raw goat milk. It was going bad, so we got it for free. Turns out...its actually the probiotics in the milk eating the lactose (sugar). Leave the milk out...let those probies do their thing. Strain and make whey (which we use for her formula) & cream cheese (which we use when we make an extremely delicious but unhealthy dip on those weekend nights where we are just DONE).
The beginning of our week was cold & now it is in the 60s and raining. Our yard is a lake. But the highlight of our week was seeing 40+ wild turkeys walk down our street. We opened the door and all three of us (Miley included) sat there & quietly watched. Well...we did wave to the turkeys. I really wanted to get a photo of this for y’all but I also really wanted to just enjoy the moment.
