I have Monday afternoon and Tuesday off so I guess I got out of the swing of things as far as updating goes, but it's ok. Yesterday morning I milked by myself, so it took a very long time. By the time I got all the sheep milked and everything washed, it had been four hours. There is a lot entailed in milking to remember and since it was only my second time, I won't completely remember it all. I think I have come to the conclusion though that I would rather be milking cows...
Yesterday afternoon I did a range of things. I helped Bob make scones (the savory ones)... They had sheep cheese and garlic for flavoring. They were really good though! I also had to go and help Ann milk for a little while. Yesterday I also learned how to move the sheep out to pasture and back in for milking in the evening. It wasn't very hard but it is a little nerve-wracking... I mean, what if they don't follow? But I suppose that's what their Border Collie Juba is for... Oh well. That was about all for yesterday. Last night after we got off of work I went and observed Bob making sweet scones. I also helped some which I feel was good experience for me. It also allowed me to ask questions about their operation as well.
