It’s all Dolly now.
***
Every night before I write 5 things I’m grateful for and 5 successes. Then I ask one big question.
***
This practice has cultivated a desire to SEEK opportunities for gratitude in my days.
***
Endless gratitude for this land and all creatures on it.
***
If you look for it, magic is all around.

Swipe for teefs.

Yesterday Brianna from shared a photo of her milk pail. It reminded me that I haven’t shared mine lately.
***
I’ve said it before but it bears repeating, the family milk cow is the sun around which the Homestead orbits.
***
The love a milkmaid has for her cow and the raw milk she provides is unmatched.
***
Maybe we should make it a thing? .

Rose and I are becoming friends.
***
I wouldn’t be surprised if she and Daisy are related.
***
I sang her a song. She gave me side eye.
***
Thank you to my sweet girl for capturing our first milking session.

Rose.

Rose is our newest (and last. Seriously this time.) jersey.
***
She comes to us from the same family that raised Daisy. She’s a bit nervous still but I expect we’ll be quick friends.

Welcome to the farm, Rose.

These two have been such a great addition to our little farm.
***
Dahlia is so sweet. She’s already using my backsid as a head scratcher.
***
Darcy is as cute as a button and will make an incredible family cow someday.
***
It feels just as it should be.
***
Friends, listen to your intuition. If something feels icky to you — regardless of the kind of icky — don’t continue to do it.
***
It’s a funny thing about trauma, it causes you to tune out of your own body. The safest place is the place furthest from where you are.
***
The result of this is a whole bunch of adults who don’t know when they need a freakin drink of water now because they couldn’t allow themselves to need a drink of water 40 (or 20 or 30 or 50 or whatever) years ago.
***
Can you imagine the myriad of ways the someone might betray themselves in an attempt at what *feels* like safety.?
***
Then one day you wake and the danger is gone but your neurons are already mapped to their destinations and there’s no alternate route.
***
You power through things you hate. You skip things you love. You can’t sleep when you’re tired. You don’t even know when you’re thirsty.
***
Don’t do it.
***
Don’t suffer because the people around you either couldn’t or didn’t do the work.
***
Don’t.

The milk barn is very nearly done.
***
I spend a lot of time in this space. Even though cows p**p in it, it’s still important that I feel peace in here.
***
Milking is a meditation for me. I hope the space reflects that.

He’s spending his Father’s Day in his office tending to a corporate “emergency”. It’s not the first weekend or middle of the night or holiday he’s ended up working — that’s who he is.
***
He isn’t working because he loves corporate America, he’s working because he loves his family.

* he and I met at our county spelling bee when we were 11.

* he’s really good at making fried rice

* he’s a good snuggler
