Well went to docs today and good news is my ligaments are all intact. The bad news is my meniscus(cartilage in the knee) is torn and needs to be surgically repaired. So sept 23 I have arthoscopic surgery. I will be glad when it's over.

Good job!:)

Congrats on getting the fence done.

Welcome!:cool:

How long will they nurse after kidding? Indefinitely as long as you milk them?

Wow I just noticed you have 50 goats! That's alot of milk!

Your kids are adorable. I remember my mom making a pear butter(like apple butter). Your recipe though looks delicious.

I think alot of it is knowing we need a separate barn and fencing for the goats. We have neighbors with goats down the road and they are always getting out. They donot have proper fencing. I guess he feels we already have horses, chickens and that's enough.

I have many! First of all my horses are really my passion even beyond my soapmaking. One of my favorite things to do is to take a hot bath by candle light and read a book.

I've been working on my dh with goats for about 3 years now. All I get is "No goats" When I wanted a horse, no problem he went and bought me a horse . We now have 5. When I wanted chickens he did protest a bit but wants to add to them every spring. Goats all I get is the look of him rolling...

Deal!!! I don't think nobody's dh will be harder to convince then mine!

Some fo are stronger than others. SOme people prefer a lighter smelling bar versus a perfume like bar. It's just a matter of preerence or taste. The essential oils are stronger because they are more pure and natural so you would probally use less. Another thing I forgot to mention. It all...

ty tankshill! Today I made a lovely gm lavender and lemon soap. I think it is too lemony and needs a bit more lavender. I fell in love with yankee candle lavender and lemon and was trying to duplicate it without buying more frangrance oil... It is a lovely lemon color and I really did not...

I keep my soaps exposed to air while drying. IF you put enough scent (eo/fo) they will keep their scent. I typically use anywhere from 0.7-1.0 oz per pound of oils. I prefer a nice hard bar, the top layer may lose a little scent but once wet it returns.

You seem to take it in stride. I hope your tests results come back soon. I think waiting is the hardest part and just not knowing instead of them saying it could be.... this or that...

Your numbness has to be caused by somthing! Do you have a history of diabetes? Do they hurt when they are numb? It could be a neuropathy to the feet. ?You don't have to be a diabetic to get this. Some people just have bad circulation amd it can cause this or a numbness. I'm assuming you...

Today is such a gorgeous day! Sunny and in the 70's but you can tell fall is in the air in western pa! I plan on making some buttermilk soap today with oatmeal and a honey almond fragrance. I have been having trouble finding goatmilk. Most times have to buy it in the grocery but it can be...

Unfortunatley I can't have the results til next friday when I see the orthopedic surgeon.

I had an mri of my knee done today. I've been off work for almost three weeks from my horse throwing me. She went one way, I went the other. They first said rest, ice, elevation. I said how about an mri this was almost 3 weeks ago! Now they are saying possible dislocation, or ligament tear...

You dinner did sound wonderful. Making your own base really is not hard. Making your own soap is not hard, alot like baking. It can be time consuming and needs patience. Skill comes with with it over time like baking a pie or decorating a cake. Here are a couple soap makers by your state...
