The Farm

I have always liked the notion that the world can be divided into those who shower before work, and those who shower after. After todays work, I certainly needed a shower.
I started the day by feeding the calves, then the pigs, then the horses. The ferrier came today to work on the horses hooves, and it turned into quite the drama when one horse bucked, and fell, getting stuck in the ferrier booth. After a pretty stressful half hour, she got herself out, thank goodness. This evening Wim taught me how to milk the cows. I really enjoyed it, though ended up completely filthy. Fed the calves again before taking a well deserved shower. This post isnt very poetic, but its because this european keyboard is driving me nuts, and I have to type with my pointer fingers and search for keys.
Tomorrow we harvest corn.
To bed.
