I am in goat heaven!
I spent the morning yesterday tending to gorgeous aging artisan goat cheeses (I don't think I've ever used the word "gorgeous" to describe cheese before...) and the afternoon milking 80 happy goats in a beautifully renovated cow milking parlor. I'm not sure life gets much better than that. I am in heaven. I lucked out with this job!

CONGRATULATIONS! Looks like you get to keep good company while at work.

Do you get paid with cheese and money!? LOL
