Aimee and I took advantage of another lovely autumn day to visit with the Amish family in Springfield. She got to know them quite well when she was living with us a few years ago and they were delighted to see her. We have fresh apple pies and tea and then went for a walk around their farm.

We did a couple of loads of washing and put some apples in the dehydrator and then I went to work to do a five hour online shift. This turned out to be a bad idea on top of yesterday walking all day at AgFest and my feet were well and truly sore by the end of the night.

In addition I have a small infection on the big toe of my right foot and the irritation of the two days in shoes hasn't done it any favours. I am applying tea tree spray and wearing slumbies (sort of a loose sock with a sole) that have alot of room around the toes to avoid pressure and irritation.

Star and Joey as nine month olds. They are now at the age that I wean my calves that are on cows, I have been giving them calf pellets to make up for not being on mothers, and I should wean them now by schedule but the grass isn't giving enough protein so they will stay on the pellets for the time being.
