It was really cold here this morning at 4 AM, 10°. I think we will be at normal temperatures for the rest of the week which is 40's and 20's.
I milked yesterday morning, both cows. Getting them both started up the ramp was the hardest part. Once on the ramp they moved up into the barn easily. We had so much excitement getting them up to the ramp that Jewel didn't give quite as much. It is not good to excite a dairy cow before milking......you pay.
I did go out afterward and got a couple of pictures of the baby. The color isn't as good with the Panasonic as it is with the Canon. The baby has slightly more red in her coat. I think she will end up being black.
Our granddaughter and her friend got in about 7 pm last night. I had a pot of hamburger soup waiting. I wasn't supposed to do dessert because her friend is dieting....but I had made a new recipe for a large sour cream coffee cake early in the day. So be it. The dark is a layer of streusel filling around the middle of the cake.
This was a recipe from Martha Stewart.com called Sara's Classic Sour Cream Coffee Cake.
This is errand day. I need to grocery shop (lots of fruit and veggies! no fat), pick up a library book and get a license for the trailer. DH and I may leave before the girls get up.

Enjoy your company and trip to town......well, to the library at least :)
ReplyDeleteHave fun at the license's office. I went Friday and was #20 in line. I heard it was worse later in the day.
ReplyDeleteKeep warm, it was 9 here near Jefferson City this morning.
Jewel's face reminds me of those old 1950's ads with Elsie The Cow. Don't overdo, and stay well. Hugs XOXOXO
ReplyDeleteGood looking cows, good looking bundt cake. The only cakes I really care to eat are moist, heavy ones and that one looks like it would fill the bill!
ReplyDeleteWe had -11° here this morning . . . -34° 45 miles north of us, but still in our same county.
Glenda,
ReplyDeleteBrrr.....10 degree's and more cold arctic express winds heading south from Canada.
Hamburger soup (to keep you nice and warm inside) and cake sounds good for dinner.
It's been snowing all day (thank you Hercules) and tonight some serious arctic air will blow in. Then days next week were it won't get out of single digits. BRRRRRR.
ReplyDeleteGosh that bundt cake is making me drool. Yum!
