Well, we picked up our girls today! They are settling in (though we don't have their house in it's proper place or the feeders set where we want them). I've been a little nervous because we had been told that you need an acre to legally keep goats here and we don't have an acre. I looked up...

Fat loves company... or is that misery??

I love anything pumpkin. Only one in our family who turns up their nose at pumpkin is my husband... weirdo :P .

These are my two favorite pumpkin recipes. I found the recipe for the cookies one day when I really wanted something sweet but didn't have any eggs in the house, so glad I didn't have eggs that day! I like to use golden raisins and chocolate chips in the cookies instead of regular raisins and...

We got the goat house primed and painted yesterday (bright yellow that we had bought for a different project but didn't use). It rained off and on today, but the inside of the goat house remained dry and quite cozy. It has decent ventilation and a drain so that we can just hose it out when...

I made a boxed cake the other night. Made the frosting myself, but it was just easier to do a boxed cake that night.

I make my own hummus and I think it's pretty good! I think the mistake most people make is using too much tahini. Basically what I use is: 16oz chickpeas (reserve liquid) 1/4- 1/2 C liquid from chickpeas 3-5 Tbs lemon juice 1 1/2 Tbs tahini 1/2 tsp salt 2 Tbs olive oil fresh garlic or garlic...

FarmerChick, thanks for that great article and link. I have bookmarked it and will try and get through it before my girls arrive!

I know my goats have been wormed on a regular basis by the breeder I am buying from. Should I hold off on worming until after they kid?

:lol: :th

He looks really cute in that hat! I bet he had a great time :D .

So we are picking up our goats soon and are almost ready for them. I want to worm (or I guess deworm, lol) them after they get here since I know it is going to stress them out. What should I buy and what form does it come in? I'm also trying to find out how much probios I should give them...

An organizing day is a great idea! My husband had the kids "put away" the groceries the other day... you can guess what that looks like :/ . I think dinner and carrot cake sounds like a good birthday. It's always hard to buy for people who don't have hobbies, and don't need or want anything...

I can't wait to see pictures of the ant costumes! I would love for my kids to dress up as something like that, something that isn't related to a movie or tv show :rolleyes: . Guess my boys just feel they are too old to be cute, lol.

Just got back from San Diego. I got to see my girls, hurray!! The little one is still very skittish and I am hoping she will chill out when she gets here, but we are prepared to keep one of her or her mom's babies to replace her if she doesn't calm down. They are penned with the buck right...

I am heading down to San Diego today for work (I have a part-time evaluation gig that I do every once in a while). Since my goats are pretty much in the middle of two of my observation sites, I plan to stop in and see them. This time I am going to remember my camera and take pictures!!

That is a great idea! I don't have any help to give though. Sorry!

We did the same thing a couple nights ago with our american bulldog. She doesn't get to be outside with the chickens unless we are there, because she loves to chase them. She is chasing with the intent to play, but I know that could become something more sinister in an instant. I am worried...

I would love to hear of tried and true recipes other people have used! I made both of these recipes yesterday and the hamburger one was definitely better. My sil and her girls came over for a BBQ, and when she saw what I had made she laughed a bit and said "I didn't think anyone would bother...
