Well, we've weathered the storm! Irene blew in early Sunday morning, just about the time we started morning milking. We braced ourselves for the worst but, thankfully, it wasn't as bad as we expected. Thinking we would lose power any minute, we kept one eye on the NOAA website tracking the storm and hazardous weather warnings and the other eye on the electric fences that were slowly becoming submerged as the rain fell harder and harder. Luckily, we never lost power. Since we are perched on top of a hill, we didn't experience too much flooding either, but many in our surrounding area weren't quite so fortunate and there's lots of cleaning up to be done for many miles. Click here to see pictures of the flooding at Consider Bardwell, next door.
We have 3 new additions to our herd, Cedar, Emerald (due to freshen any minute) and Mavis Jr. They are beautiful Jerseys and already fitting in with the rest of the girls. Photos of them will be posted in a few days.
