Hidden Haven Homestead

No photos but we had a busy day. Zack and Julie helped me feed and milk this morning. I am going to have to lock Sammi in her stall at night. Robyn and Dan are robbing her milk! I go to milk each morning and get about 2 quarts from Diva (I go before daylight so I can milk her before the boys get to her) and don't even get a cupful from Sammi. Diva is only letting the boys nurse a little then pushes them away. Auntie Sammi will just stand still forever if they want to nurse her. So tonight Sammi is getting locked away from the boys so I can at least have her morning milk before they get to her. Diva has gone back to her normal Diva self. If she is through eating then I am through milking according to her rules. I end up having to pen her in the corner of her stall and finish milking her out while she is putting on a act of not being able to breathe! I fell for that when I first got her but she needs a new trick. The boys are getting so tall! They still don't want to be around me very much as they are afraid I will hurt them. They haven't forgotten the disbudding yet. After morning chores I took the kids to the flea market. We didn't find any treasures though. We came home and gave the animals a treat and fresh water then went next door so they could swim for awhile. After a fun afternoon of swimming they got ready for vacation bible school. It started tonight and they seemed to have had a good time when I picked them up. Think they are going to enjoy being busy this week. I will post pics of the Diva's babies tomorrow. We will be cleaning the goat pen and I am sure they will be into everything while we are raking. Hope you had a great weekend and your week is filled to the brim with blessings
