Behind the Garden Walls

Verity writes about a day at the farm
 On  Monday , Daddy, Mommy, and  the  twins  went  to    Travers  city  and  the  rest  of  us  went  to  the
R.'s  house  for  the  day. We  played  with  yo - yo's, balls, and  games,  milked  cows, drank  cows  milk,
and  splashed  in  mud  puddles. And  also, Mercy  and  Peace  did  silly  things -of  course.Ha,ha!
To  milk  a  cow, first  I  washed its  four  teats,  then  dried  them,  and  then  squirted  milk  out.  Then  you  attached  the  milkers  to  its  teats.To  open  the  gate  for  the  cows  to  go  out,  you  pulled  on  a  string.  I  opened  the  gate  two  times,  and  Peace  opened  it  once. Warren  helped  her. Warren  and  Lydia  were  a  lot  of  fun.Once  Lydia  pretended  to  take  Peace  away,  and  once  Warren  let  me  open  the  door.
For  lunch  we  had  pizza,  noodles,  apples,  and  bananas.For  dessert  we  had  pie  and  ice  cream.Splashing  in  mud  puddles  was  fun.Since  my  shoes  were  dirty,  I  had  to  wear  a  pair  of  their  boots. We  also  fed  the  calves.I  would  say,"come  on,"  and  the  calf  would  back  away  so  that  I  could
I  could  put  some  food  in  its  food  bucket.

Verity, the next time you visit us (Grampa & Grandma Mutton), I think you should try milking some goats.
