What an amazing week...time for surprises, learning, persevering and coming to truly value the lessons of taking from the earth and giving back. By this last day of dairy farming, we are all veteran milkers and herders, companions to the animals and their caregivers. Although we feel like experts, it's apparent to all of us that we are just starting to comprehend the significant place in the circle of life these kinds of farms represent. We left our friends with hugs and kisses, tail-wags and "baa-a-a-as", and a couple of long Moooos! Thank you, good and merciful Lord, God of the Universe, for this once-in-a-lifetime experience among some of your greatest miracles; those of birth and growth, of nature and nurture, of hunger and feeding, of compassion and support. Can't wait to visit again, thanks Margo and Georgie for your vision and persistence. You will remain always lifted in our prayer.
