    Mathilda, a pretty Jersey cow came to live at the farm yesterday.  Mabel was very happy to see her.  Mabel has been lonely, cows are herd animals.  We're all happy to see her too.  More cream for butter and ice cream.  More milk , partly because we keep getting more milk customers, partly because we want to try making cheese. Mathida walked in the barn to be milked last night and this morning like she had always lived here.

   In between unloading hay trailers the last few days all the lawns got mowed.  They are mowed short, ticks don't like short grass.  We don't like ticks, we especially don't  like ticks in the grass where little ones are playing.  The backyard is the only place there have been ticks, even there we don't have many. There are only a few spots left that the grass isn't under control. With everything else tamed and me feeling better I'll get to them.

   May your day be blessed, Sally
