Sorry if those weren't for group consumption, Amy...Ning works in mysterious ways! I'm with David, though. I thoroughly enjoyed all of them (are those your grandchildren?) and it is great to see your home surroundings.

Sylvia, I didn't realize that the website picks up the pictures from individual pages and cycles them. I was thinking that my pics don't have much to do with aqua-ponics yet!!!
But glad the "one" picture brought a bit of humor to the start of the morning!

David,

I think my husband is going to "kill" me when he sees this picture.... but it was just too good to pass up! But we do enjoy our milk cows. Such a trip.

I had no idea how good raw milk was until a vet brought some to a workshop I attended.... being from the medical field I was scared to death of it. How sad... But his bringing the raw milk triggered some good discussion about the whys and wherefores of pasteurization. I did try the milk and was very impressed. Went home and did some more research about what is lost in food value & taste when they treat bulk milk.

We don't sell it (we make butter, cheese, and feed the excess to our pigs for premium meat) but there are some people who sell cow shares: the equiv of $15/gallon here in northern california (the cost of land really drives the price up). Of course that gallon includes heavy cream (for butter/cheese), 1/2&1/2, as well as milk. Which makes the "milk" price closer to under $10 a gallon... still to high for the average consumer...

The questions is NOT "Why is healthy food so expensive, but WHY is industrial food so cheap?"

anyway, appreciated your comment. Smiles and laughs are always a good way to start a day!

Hi Amy, this picture gave me a good morning laugh ! 'Thanks' so much.
It also reminded me of when I was little, my great-uncle had some cows. I grew up drinking 'raw' milk.
Now the Gov't says thats a 'crime', and people pay good money for it....????
