Good Morning all! 
Coffee going on here.
Weather is just perfect....but, gotta go to work.
Off Sunday and guess what -- RAIN. I will take that as a suggestion to stay inside and clean this house! 
Maybe I will get some cooking done while that happens -- some crockpot, long bake time, etc., type things. I am hoping to get the garden tilled Sat morning...then plant, then the rain will seem OK.
Milking is in full swing here. I am co-milking three with their kids. Even with "sharing" I am having to take in close to 2 gallon a day. These are heavy milk producers -- that's mostly what I raise -- so Sunday looks like (while inside!) I will spin for cream and make cheese. THEN, my frig will be able to hold more. It's a cycle
Need to clean the porch frig as it's ready for a Clorox bath after winter and pollen. I'll do the inside of it too while I'm at it.
My eggs are cutting back. With 7 of my layers on broody duty! You just have to grin & bear it! still enough for customers, especially since I had to boil and feed 3 doz last week. There's that "no room for" thing again.
Only 2 more months of heavy, heavy work hours -- then I can be home more. That's a long time when you want to stay home
not so long, after it's over. For those young'uns out there, sorry if you have another 20 yrs to endure. I'm looking at "retire 2020" -- 
Well, partially retire

Definitely a coffee type of morning/day. Been up and at it since 430. Ready for a nap but won't do that until midday when its hottest out.

I went to the garden and pulled weeds from the sad beet rows. I planted them early, they mostly didn't come up, but the weeds sure did. So I carefully weeded around the survivors. I planted two packets of beet seeds. I want some pickled beets! I make them with cinnamon sticks and whole cloves, they are darn good. Last year I only got 4 jars worth and I made them last as long as I could. I spent 4 hours outside this morning, it started to rain again, so I came in. My husband planted the two clumps of wild plum suckers we rooted.
I'm gonna go make some home made pimento cheese.
1 pound cheddar, grated
1 package cream cheese 8 ounce, softened
1 jar chopped pimentos
Couple glops of mayonnaise just enough to hold it all together.
Great on sandwiches, crackers, celery sticks or eat it on a spoon

Sorry that your kiddos are sick. Sometimes just being a comfort to them is all you get done. I get to relive those moments because we are the back up baby sitters for our 3 grand daughters. They get sick, we keep them, sometimes take them to the Dr if Mom or Dad can't get off work. Then we get sick, ain't that how it goes?
