Move Over Mr. Baby..New Cuteness Arrives!

Janet and Phil really love to go to Pizzeria Prima Strada for lunch.  On the walls at the restaurant are photos of the water  buffalo at Fairburn Farms.  Once a month, you can tour the farm and see their operation.   The milk from the water buffalos is picked up every Monday by Natural Pastures who then  turn it into Buffalo Mozzarella cheese.  It is fabulous cheese and can be purchased at some local shops.

They went for an outing on Sunday to tour the farm.  They loved it!  Janet asked some really dumb questions.  Example:  "do you get milk from the males" and "oh...they must give birth to a calf to be able to produce milk?"  Then she recalled the whole mammal gig and remembered that Derek can't feed Mr. Baby.  We were really glad we didn't go on the outing as this woman is way beyond embarrassing.

This little cutie is only 4 days old and a bit skittish on her legs!

This cute little doggie is AJ.  He lives on the farm and attended the whole tour.  AJ is nine years old and is part border collie.  We want to be tour dogs on a farm!  How much fun would that be?

This is where they keep the milk until Natural Pastures comes to collect it on Mondays.

There was a really beautiful wooden church on the way to the farm.  It is now closed and was listed for sale for $350,000.  Janet's volunteer friend Doreen told Janet she thinks the building is now condemned, so perhaps it's no longer for sale.  There is also a cemetery on the property, which apparently is an issue when selling property.

They had a yummy dinner of BBQ'd short ribs and grilled patty pan squash.  Janet loves patty pan squash.

Boo boo and boo hoo!   In his haste, Phil was rinsing out one of our coolers and left to do something else while the water was running.  A couple of hours flew by before it came to light the water was still on.  The water running was hot, so the entire basement was like a sauna!  Lucky thing we have that "hot water on demand" heating system, so it was continual hot water.  Janet said it was just like going to the Caribbean without the hassle and expense of leaving home!

They had to call in the professionals and there were many, many bad words said.  Most bad words were centred around the cost of said professional!

Trouble makers!

There is big action on half of our street.  We are really glad it's not our half of the street!  Sorry, neighbours!

They are working on gas lines.
