かゆいところに手が届くのは、霊長類とコアラなど一部の動物くらいだそうです。
他の多くの哺乳類は手じゃなくて前足なので。
犬や牛なんかは器用に後足で体を掻いている事を見かけますが、関節の構造上足が届く範囲が限定的の様でもっぱらかゆい時は物体に体をこすりつけます。牛のそれはとてもパワフルです。
体を掻く行為は脳内の快感物質を分泌するそうで、牛にとっては生理的な行動でもあり、娯楽のひとつでもある様に思います。
一心不乱に体をこすりつける姿はいつも見入ってしまいます。

うわ、寒そう...
首都圏に住んでいた頃の私だったら間違いなくそう思っていたはずです。
東京の雪は間違いなく寒い日に降ります。
ここでは雪が降ってても、寒い日も暖かい日もとんでもなく寒い日もあります。
暑い、寒い、は個人の中の相対的な評価で極めて感覚的なものだと気づきます。
今日の雪は少ししっとりしています。寒波の影響もやっと一息。
気分的には春はまだ遠いのですが、そろそろ足音らしきものも聞こえててくる頃です。

PH(ペーハー)計が壊れました。
ペーハー計はチーズ製造のおいては乳酸菌による発酵具合を測定するのに使用し、製造進行管理において重要な役割を担います。
そんな頼もしいガイド役が不在なので、いつも以上に五感と経験知をフル稼働してチーズ製造に挑みます。
機械が壊れるのはよい機会。
文明の利器は便利ですが、時に頼り過ぎて大事な事を失念する事があります。
折角なので、じっくりゆっくり本質に向き合う時間にしたいと思います。

大寒の候。
寒波の影響でトマムは連日、氷点下25℃に迫る日が続いています。
今朝も厳しい冷え込みでしたが、お昼前には太陽が差し込み牛達も日向ぼっこを楽しんでいました。
ところで一番寒い時期と一番日が短い時期って、ちょっとずれてます。
厳しい寒さが続いても、ちゃんと季節は進んでいる、と日の長さで感じる事ができます。
大寒の次は立春。
もう春なんですね。
冬のやり残しは無いかな、とふと振り返ります。

今日のトマムはスキーをしたら最高なんだろうな、というコンディションです。
私たちはと言うと、その山の麓であいもかわらずチーズを作っています。
豆腐の様に固まった牛乳を専用カッターでカットして、ゆっくりと攪拌をしながらチーズの元となる"カード"という固体とホエイという液体に分離する作業中です。
その後のチーズの質を決める大事な工程と言われています。
おいしさが逃げ出さない様に、はじめはゆっくり優しく、だんだんと早く強めにかき混ぜます。

昨日のトマムは-20℃を超えて冷え込みました。
あたりはつるつるです。
私も移住当初は一冬で何度も派手に転んでいましたが、この近年は学習して一冬で1回転ぶか転ばないか、くらいです。
ヒトも牛も、小さい子供が凍った道を駆けているのを見るとドキドキします。
恐れを知らないってすごい。
体重が軽いと転んでも致命傷になりにくい、というのもあるのでしょうが信じられないような動きをします。
リリーも器用に滑りながら散歩しています。
About
Farm Hoshino Initiatives
Hoshino Resort offers experiences related to the culture, industry, and local activities that are unique to the area.
"Farm Hoshino" was started in the belief that the beautiful scenery created by agriculture provides relaxation to travelers and that the agricultural products produced there enrich the travel experience.
In realizing these experiences, we are conducting production activities at Hoshino Resorts TOMAMU.
Tomamu was an area where about 700 head of cattle were raised and farmed until it was developed as a resort. The resort operates a farm area of approximately 100 hectares in the hope that visitors can enjoy the original beauty of this land.
