Into the woods by 5:45 AM. We had Noon plans and wanted to finishing cooking yesterday’s pickup of 165 gals. It was clear and cold: 18 and breezy. The temperature dropped as the sun rose. Once the evaporator fire was going we warmed our hands by the stack. And opening the doors to fire gave a welcome wave of warmth too.
Three batches into the milk can. First at 7:40 AM. R/O from 7:00 AM to 8:45 AM. Delayed starting the R/O wash cycle until we left. Wanted to enjoy the woods without the background din of the pumps.
Sunny and cold today: 33. Tonight is 18 again. Tomorrow rain/snow with 2”-3” of snow on Tuesday. Glad we picked up yesterday because it looks like ice in the buckets most of this week.
Back to the farmhouse by 10:45 AM, an early finish.
