Cows, Goats, and Udders

(Sorry, couldn’t resist.)

At Young’s Jersey Dairy to get homemade ice cream shakes, we dropped in on the goats and calves, always fun.  They’ve raised all-Jersey dairy cows (and goats) for generations, plus grains and hay to feed them, and produce their own milk, fresh and aged cheeses, ice cream, and dairy products.  They hold seasonal festivals, like the wool-gathering (shearing,spinning, weaving, etc.) event in September, featuring sheep, llamas, alpacas, cashmere goats, angora rabbits, and others.

Then we stopped at Peifer Orchards to stock up on produce.  We bought our first apples of the season!  One of their several dogs said hi.

Yes, we lead a boring, mundane (i.e. affordable) life.  I’m learning to appreciate and savor all the lowly ephemera in life, which are underrated.  Nothing like a comical smartass goat to put you in your place!
