On December 27th we were all looking forward to Strawberry’s visit. Our friends were taking off for a week, during our long Washington winters, and we got to watch their milking Jersey. To Mom and Dad it meant ice cream, for us kids it meat extra milking chores, and all-you-can-drink milk! The dogs didn’t know it, but they would have been drooling over the prospect of “cereal” every morning!
And so, for a week, we enjoyed whipped cream, milk at every meal, and Mom and Dad got creamer in their coffee, and I made 4 gallons of ice cream too! (you have to make hay while the sun shines 🙂 )!
She was a good cow, easy to milk, and gave us no problems, but we were reminded why we don’t like cows in winter. They eat a lot of hay, and are always dirty in winter! She went home 3 days ago, but as we drink the last gallon of milk we are already wondering who else might lend us a cow.
