I've been watching your videos, this is the first one I'm commenting on. My husband, my Mother, and I all live on a permaculture farm, so I'm enjoying the peak into a families lifestyle which is similar to ours.
Her singing, while milking the cow was so simple, and so very lovely BECAUSE of its simpleness. The beauty of her voice, the earthiness of milking a cow...those are the kinds of true joys found in such a life.
Thank you for your comments. I am glad you got the opportunity to milk as having cows in your life is a real gift. We just finished shooting the 'day in the life of our cows' video and I hope to post it soon.
Our cow recently stepped on our stool and the other was broken shortly after we shot that video. We are going to video making another one. Yes, she has had voice training for the last three years and has formed a singing school for her younger siblings. We feel they are great kids which is enhanced by the homesteading environment. We often feel like we are "going against the grain" so comments like this one help to revive our faith.
I think "going against the grain" at this point in time is what is necessary to raise a happy and healthy family. Nowadays it is the norm to not spend any time with your family and never really know them or enhance their lives. Societies goals orient around materialism, which in reality a family doesn't need all of that.
Learning how to provide for oneself directly through homesteading will teach children and adults hardwork, modesty, independence, and dependence on nature. I think it would bring out the best in all involved. Your children will have fond memories of you teaching them on the farm while most children remember fathers missing dinners and being gone for weekends...and mothers strung out and pressured trying to be perfect and being unhappy.
Nice o see cows that are loved!

I milked a cow before at the state fair
When I was 6 My wrist had just gotten better
I was in 1st grade When I sprained it
At the state fair I milked a cow
I loved it
