It's Cindy that has the summer kitchen. You thought it was me because I'm so jealous of hers. Now if she could just get the concrete crew there.

Yes, I know Cindy is very concerned. I would be too. Her concrete crew needs to get things done....like now! I'll be praying for her, her family and her little ones.

I'm sure she will be ready, concrete or not, "when the cows come home." New cows, new calves, new milking chores, new beginnings and new wonderful stories to tell. It's all a beautiful thing. I'm really happy for her.

Ah yes! The splatter catcher! I've already sized one up, at the local hardware store. I will purchase one, when the time comes and milking chores are underway. Thank you. It's a great idea! I also love love love the smooth mats you have in your milking parlor and the fresh white milk paint. It's all so lovely!

I've been reading your book and reading parts of it to Ken. I showed him your set-up and of course, lovely milking parlor and great photos of your set up in the Milk Cow Kitchen Book. It's simply perfect, Mary Jane! I'm sure this brings you a lot of smiles and joy, along with the work (which isn't all that bad, it's good happy work).

Cindy has the summer kitchen....oh so sorry about that. Oh my! She is certainly a lucky girl! Sigh! Wouldn't it be fun to have a summer kitchen? I think so.

Will Elisa Belle be "clicker" trained as well, Mary Jane?

Yes, Eliza Belle is clicker trained to the extent she needs it. She's a very mellow, compliant, easy-going cow. We've been taking her into the milking parlor as part of her training (easy peasy) but I have yet to ever milk her. I look forward to seeing what her udder is like after her first birth, how well she births, etc. She's a big doll baby. And she's gotten so large lately that her sigh (when we tell her it's time for exercise and a walk) can be heard around the farm.

I'm pleased to announce that yesterday evening was the first time Little Bit didn't "dump" during her milking session. Perhaps she's getting a little more at ease and happy. It was a pleasant surprise.
