My friend Alla blessed me with this milk based soap making books, after she read we got our goats. I'm thrilled with it and have been getting milk pasteurized and frozen for a couple of batches of basic milk soap. Alla, again Thank you for the surprise and such a thoughtful gift. :o)
If you click this photo, you'll get a larger view. This is the view from the bottom of our front pasture looking toward the Beartooth Mountains with the river in the background
Salad to go along with supper tonight, Ummmm. Ummmmm.
Button last evening resting with a full rumen, after a day of grazing.
Chance, he's still so dang cute, you just want to hug him.
This was taken on the opposite side of the river from our farm, when Cortney was walking the dogs this afternoon.
Hoss, he has his own personality and it is more reserved and shy, although he enjoys a good scratching under his jaw, on his nub and between his back legs.
Tuffy and Casino posing for their picture, quite the pair!
Sarah and Lucy conversing with the chickens.
Just a photo to show we have seen bits of our "Big Sky" here in MT .

Do they have a chocolate milk soap? lol.
Awww, your furbabies are just precious!!!!
You know chocolate soap isn't a bad idea I knew someone once who made some just need to add cocoa powder to it I believe. Glad to see all the snow is gone!
love the beautiful furry friends and fantastic photos.
the book is a great gift!! love the animal pictures... so darned cute! boy, it's hard to believe there was snow covering the ground not long ago there! the mountains are beautiful in the photos.
Good post and very nice pics.
With every post you post, I wish I lived a life like yours. (But I wouldn't want to change mine!) I wish I could have two, mine as it is, and one like yours.
Life is too short!
Very nice pictures from around your place! What a view!
Looks like a great place to finish up my morning coffee!
You'll have to post about your soap making experiences. I have always wanted to make soap but am a big chicken! We had 4" of snow with terrible blizzard conditions from Sat. noon to Sunday noon. Thankfully the sun then came out and some of the snow started to melt. I'm beginning to wonder when spring will actually arrive!
I am sooooo hooomesick sometimes! so glad I can come here and visit!
Yes! Tell how your soapmaking went please! I picked up some lye today in anticipation of making soap and I need to find a good book. I may have to get the one you are using there it keeps coming up in my searches when I look for "goat milk soapmaking".
I would like to try soapmaking myself but, don't know if time will allow it. Love the animals! especially Chance, and your dogs.
Sure hope you're feeling well now; there's so much work to be done in the spring.
