Update.

Here is a picture of some soap that I wrapped. They will still go into a small bag with a label and a pretty bow on top of the small bag. OK, the bow may not be so pretty as that it really not my forte. I'm taking this soap to CO with me and will see what I can sell there. I almost have my soap site set up. Wrapping soap is not hard, just kind of boring. I think I will get some books on CD and read a book while I wrap soap. I am getting faster at doing it as I have a little system now.

We had a hard frost last night. When I went to feed the girls this am their water bucket had a nice layer of ice in it. I have a garden hose out to the pen and that was also iced up. I had to break up the ice and dump that water out and bring the bucket inside and fill it up from the kitchen sink. I don't have running water out at the goat pen ( other then the hose ) and I will be sink filling the water bucket 2 times a day when it's winter.

Let's not talk about the garden. May it R.I.P.

Here's a picture of Maggie ( left ) and JuJu (right) I know, it's not that good of a picture but it's really hard to have the goats stand still and look at me. That is a branch of oak that I tossed into the pen. I toss one in the pen almost every day. Pretty soon I wont be able to as it will be winter and no leaves on the tree. I will cut some pine for them and toss that in. The really enjoy the branches. Maggie will sometimes stop eating the grain and come out and eat oak. JuJu, on the other had will lick the grain clean then go check out the oak.
I just want to say a word about my dinner tonight. I put some pork neck in the crock pot with 2 small onions chopped, 1 apple chopped and about 4 cloves or garlic. When I came home I took the meat off the bone, strained the onion,apple and garlic out and made a rue and made a WONDERFUL gravy. I made some mashed potatoes to go with the pork and WONDERFUL gravy and man was it good.
