After almost a year without our own Internet, we are connected. So much of my time has been spent writing, schooling, training dogs, milking goats, and other things. Right now I am looking down at my youngest charge, an English springer spaniel, who I am training as a hunting dog for Greg. He looks like my parents dog except the field version. My old man Frank is getting on in years and 'Ricky' is the new recruit/replacement. What would I do without a dog to follow me everywhere?
Next month we get our pigs and turkeys. More work for me, but I'm willing. The goats are drying off. They need a couple months break from milking before they kid out. I will miss having to walk out to the barn for milk. Mr. Steel likes to say, "Ah, fresh from the teat." When he pours himself a cup. Well I can't promice that hearing from me will be more frequent than before I had Internet...but this is a start!
