Just another blessed day...

So, Shaun woke me up this morning at 6:30 and needed my help to bring the minivan back home that broke down on the way to work. It's just a couple of miles from the house (which he walked/jogged home) so we hopped in and got it home before the girls woke up. It appears as if the transmission is a goner. Wonderful, down to one vehicle.
The rest of the day has turned out well considering the start we had. The girls helped me milk the goats and Shaun fed the larger livestock. After breakfast we headed to Joplin to buy groceries.(Shaun took the day off after his car troubles)
When we returned home, Shaun was struck by a need to clean and organize my pantry. It's a job I normally do, but was more than glad to let him handle. The counter full of groceries probably had something to do with the sudden inspiration.
Regardless, the pantry is nice and clean. :-)
Milking went smoothly this evening. The babies are eating and growing like crazy the way babies do. Tiara, Tonya's doeling taped out (weighed in) at 31 lbs. today and she's only 4 weeks old. I think we'll repeat that breeding next fall.
The does are producing well, I think next week I'll make some cheese. I need some Ricotta for Lasagna. That is certainly easy enough to get started with.
The Daffodils around the front porch are coming up, a spring teaser. I long for the warm sun of spring to get my fingers in the garden dirt! Soon enough, soon enough. The good Lord knows there's enough to do for now.
School is going well. The girls took a Science test today on the properties of matter and forms of energy. They did very well. It was nice to get the chance to include Shaun too.
Well, I'm off to watch a movie with my husband and relax for a while before bed.
Sweet Dreams and God bless.
