I was up way too early again, 2 AM, but felt quite rested so just stayed up. I even made coffee at 3:30.
Good news about my knee. It 90% improved. So much so that at 5 AM, I washed both light fixtures in the kitchen, the ceiling fan and the cold-air return grat; got down on my knees and mopped the floor in front of the cabinets before I stopped. Wow. (it needed doing). I have neglected things.
I went to the barn and helped DH milk. I am now storing the milk overnight so I can skim the cream and make butter which I just did.
I had l full pint and a part of one from last week. I use the Food Processor and it goes very quickly. I also used my new Butter Muslin that also worked well.
I ended up with 8+ ounces of sweet cream butter. As it accumulates, I will freeze it.
About the middle of next month, I will wean Jewel's calf and if she is giving enough to justify it, we will milk her daily also.....more butter.
DH is in town doing some errands for his mother.
I am vehicle-less. The battery is down on the car. He has it on the charger. I almost wish he hadn't told me. I will now fret even though I have no plans to go anywhere!
I have a very small cherry cobbler in the oven. I had a part package of cherries and a single crust in the freezer so I just rolled it out over the top. Very simple. I shouldn't have watched that cooking show last night; they were making baked desserts; my weakness.
I will restrain myself! I will!
