06:30, 74F, overcast. yellow dogs barking. let pup out to pee. she did and came right back to the door! anything to avoid those mosquitos. roosters up. doing a wash. out of milk. aggravating but not aggravating enough to get dairy goats again ...
10:05, medium tide coming in at CK. mid-80's, SW wind, 5 knts. partly cloudy, partly sunny. washed, dried, and repacked the trawls. hot out there! not much breeze at all.
16:30, high tide at #4 bridge. wood stork crossing 24. red-shouldered hawk on a fence post.
17:45, 85, hot with mosquitos. let dogs out. got 2 eggs. put dogs up. muggy. 6 deer in cow pasture to the south - 4 does, 1 buck, and a yearling. a walk at sunset with newdog was lovely. no breeze but also no mosquitos. partly cloudy. pale sunset.
19:10, 83F, no breeze, a few fireflies around.

I had dairy goats for 20 years. my children were raised on goat milk. I had nubians and they were luke-warm mothers and very high-maintenence. after the buck broke down most of my goat fencing and I couldn't keep them out of the yard and goat chow went up to $15+ a bag, I sold all the goats. I miss their milk. I don't miss milking in the mosquitos. their milk raised up more than a few bottle lambs as well as the young'uns. they were sweet animals but a lot of work. I'm past that now..
