Dairy

Work is moving quickly on the dairy. The builders started on Monday, May 6th, and by today Wednesday, May 8th the parlor was under roof, with tin on the roof and most of the sides framed up. The children and I have really enjoyed going down every opportunity we can watching. The building crew just about runs every where they go, which explains why the building is going up as fast as it is!

Looks busy, but this is a picture of the trusses being put up.

This is Blaze,  a pony that showed up at our neighbors house. He brought her to us, and we kept her for 2 days until her owner showed up to claim her. Her real name was Penny, but we thought of her as Blaze due to her blazing blue eyes.

As I take the picture, I say smile.

Notice Noah's smile is sorta changing, other 3 don't notice just yet.

They figured out Noah was hamming it up for the camera now though!

While the little boys played toys outside, Hannah and Zach enjoyed reading on the porch swing.
