Merry Christmas!
              It’s not very often that the newsletter falls on Christmas Day.  We already celebrated with the family on Thursday before the kids left for their other sides of their families.  Just a quiet day here.  We weighed our options yesterday and considered the amount of milk we would have to store in the bulk tank until Tuesday and decided to make cheese on Christmas Eve.  Not ideal, but better than the alternatives.  With milking 14 cows, we are producing a lot of milk that we need to either sell or make into cheese. 
              I sure would like a little sunshine.  Rain was needed I suppose, but cloudy days combined with the short daylight makes for dreary.  The cows were very thankful for the loafing shed last night so they had a dry place to lay down.  Although a white Christmas may have been romantic, it would have complicated chore time.  Let’s just be thankful so far…..
