Seeing the Finish Line

After two fulls days of milking every 2-3 hours, the test this morning was soooo close to negative.  I had to look a while to find any mucous.  We are so happy!  This is a big change from yesterday.  We'll do one more day of milking that quarter every three hours, anticipating that tomorrow she will be completely clean and we can declare victory.

For those who are worried that our steers don't get enough attention, our daughter took these extra daytime visits as opportunities for hugging.  It's adorable to see her hug on the cows, but the way they lean their heads over and hug back is pretty cute too. 

Some of our garden soil masquerades as rock.  This clay soil stays in chunks.  Some friends said that if we add gypsum it will break apart, but it will take a year.  Can we do that with garden plants in?
