For anyone getting message: "Sign in to confirm you're not a bot"
First try refreshing your browser or try another browser. If that doesn't work, read the following.
All the videos on my website are embedded from Youtube. From what little information I can find Youtube is testing turning off videos for certain users that are not logged into a Youtube account or using a VPN to view videos. If you have a Youtube account, please try logging in and see if you can then view the videos on https://mvotd.com. If you're using a VPN, try turning it off to view the videos. There are a few other work arounds but they are pretty confusing to use. If you have the skills you might try searching Google for "Youtube Sign in to confirm you're not a bot" for a fix. I didn't see any that looked easy. Our best hope is that Youtube completes their test and realizes this is a big mistake. Until then, please check in daily to see if you still getting the error message. Sorry it took so long to figure out what was going on with this. Mel
Description
Happy Mother's day and Nurse Appreciation Week (Boy do we appreciate you!) The moment right after chores are done, and all the goats are fed and milked, and most of the world is sleeping, and everything is happy and still is my favorite time of day! Thought today I would share it with you!
The oldest kids are now big enough to sleep on their own. It is quiet until they hear me enter the barn and then I have to work fast because everyone yells until they are all together again for the day! I love watching the mamas and babies get reunited after a night apart and morning milking. The mamas will not let another goat's kids nurse and somehow even in all the chaos can easily find their own babies. And they are so patient and sometimes 4 kids scramble to get their share.
I offer back some milk to the kids each morning in case anyone in a larger family is getting short-changed! Usually, there are a couple takers.
