Tuesday it cheese making day. If there is any extra milk from the week of milking it is processed into cheese. Laura, in her ability to be super efficient in every thing she does, shows me how she makes mozzarella cheese and with the 
whey from making the cheese, how to make ricotta. Not much is wasted here on the farm; food or time. I am not going to go through the whole process but Laura makes it look so easy and effortless. The last step of stretching the mozzarella is magical in how it changes from rubbery blocks of cheese to the long stringy texture that we all know and love on our pizzas.

Since I have been to this area many, many times during the summer, today i took part of the day to visit the booming metropolis of Waterville in the winter. One of our favorite family stops is Gifford's Ice Cream. Unfortunately, it is closed for the season............ so, i opted for the next best thing, Ben and Jerry's at Hannaford's.
