April's Shower of Photos - April 24

I have fallen down on my posting of pictures for the month!  Well, I'm going to try to pick it back up here! 

Today is milk delivery day!  Our milk is delivered once a week from a local dairy farm who treats their animals humanely, feeds them naturally, and does not add hormones.  I have been convicted on the hormone-free milk (and beef) for about a year and a half to 2 years now and had been buying organic.  When I found out about this dairy farm and what they do, I was so excited!  You buy by the half gallon and it is typically about 80 cents to a dollar less than grocery store organic, even with delivery.  Not to mention, it all comes in glass bottles that you return and they recycle.
Plus, it tastes sooo good!

I limit our milk purchases to one gallon a week.  I don't believe in letting the children drink milk all day long.  They can have one cup a day, usually at dinner.  Other than that, they only drink water unless it's some sort of special occasion.  I don't buy juice except maybe once a month, with the exception of OJ or Grapefruit occasionally for mixed drinks w/ vodka with Charlie!  :-)  Anyway, even with 4 people consuming milk, one gallon is sufficient for the week.  It is so fun when it shows up though!
