Our last day at Refugio. Well, really, our last morning at Refugio seeing as we're planning to leave for Padre Island as soon as we can get packed and ready to go.
Jason and I woke up at 6:30 and one last time went out to attempt to milk the cow. To our credit, Today was the most successful endeavor. Saoul gave her some feed and tied her to a post by the horns. She let Jason and I palpitate her udder and tug on her teats...and had she any milk in her, it probably would have been a much more productive event. Unfortunately, though we've tried a few times to separate the mother and calf during the night (so the little calf wouldn't drink all of the milk by morning), the cow keeps escaping. So now I suppose Saoul is on his own if he wants to pursue the milking, but at least now the cow is a little more amenable/comfortable with the idea.
Lisa donated several green veggies and ears of corn to us this morning and we're all looking forward to corn and a veggie filled stir-fry tonight. mmm...vegetables... well, in just a few hours we'll be done with our time here and off to the beach.
