Goats in the Kitchen ~ Thinking Ahead and Other Tidbits

Everything is normal here today.  


The sunrise is a beautiful pink.



The goats are roaming around romping in the kitchen, while I sip some hot coffee and wake up.  Normal for us anyway.  Goat coats are in the washer this morning. 

We are trying to come up with names for these cuties.  Starksy and Hutch?  Bubble and Squeak?  Yankee and Doodle, Tex and Rex?  Bert and Ernie?  Zoey and Joey? Butch and Sundance?  Orville and Wilbur?  Batman and Robin?

I'm told to keep coming up with more.  Those won't do it Daughter says, ha ha!


Having been so blessed with our garden and other stocking up this winter, I am already planning ahead for next winter.  Our "needs" list is growing.

I made the road trip to restock our organic apple cider vinegar.  I can only find it by the gallon a few hours drive from home.  I use it for canning spiced beets, and many other recipes all summer long.  The sad part was, the store moved again, and is now smaller.  They are not carrying some of the items I need.

I did however, stop at an antique store and after walking through the entire building, found a round butter dish for $5.00.  Hubby accidentally broke my last one.  Anyway, I was thrilled.  And we both got out of the house for some Hubby and Wife time.

Hey! You and your hubby had a DATE! Sounds just like what our "dates" are anymore. I'd rather do what you did than go to a fancy restaurant where the cost would be so high I'd not enjoy the meal. And you have the butter dish as a memento of the day. Good goin'!

Those 2 goat kids are cute. While it's not the most original, how about Itsy & Bitsy?
Your goat is adorable! And how organized are you!!!! You need to write a book! I love that you make your lists of what you need and figure out how to do it without spending much.....Great stuff and that shot of the sky is stunning! Happy week! Nicole xoxo
Mama Pea, Hubby and I love to drive around and look at nature, hike, take long walks, and walk through antique stores. I was tickled to find the butter dish.
Nicole, I love a good sunrise. Or sunset for that matter. As for the book, I am working on that.
Mary, cute names! We are still deciding.

How cute, however I will not show this to my youngest, for obvious reasons!!!
Emma, I do understand. My little nephew was already over to see the baby goats when they where just one day old.

How about Oreo or Domino for the black and white one, and Snickers or Rocky (Road) for the brown and white one? Anyway, that's my thoughts.

I do remember once having little chicks in the kitchen. Can't quite remember why they couldn't stay with their Mama in the hen house which was usually very warm all year round with all the chickens we kept inside it. Anyway, our maternal Grandma put them in a wash pan with a towel inside it on the open door of the oven which she'd turned on to very very low.

God bless.

Cute names RB. Daughter is still deciding.

Question

  I have asked this before, but I know I follow a few writers who have written (and published) novels.  What is the best free or best least expensive (simple like Word) writing software to use that is not Google Docs? Thanks! I'll be back with an update soon I hope.  But I do appreciate your help, because I cannot find the information some of you suggested.

Horsetail Salve ~ A "first" this Year

We purchased some horsetail salve to try last year.  It is said to help with severely dry, cracked skin.  My husband was the first to try it, with very, very dry and cracked hands from work. He loves it!  He joked I could not have it back.   I started the infused, horsetail oil the last part of March. Something I learned:   horsetail is also called shavegrass. I infused horsetail in oil, and strained it.  I then made horsetail salve.  I remembered to label my jar with what oil(s) I used, so I can journal this all in my "Herbal Remedies" journal.  I often forget to write the oil used. Now, the one we bought, has more in it than I put in ours, as far as ingredients (the purchased salve had lanolin, and aloe).  We'll see if ours works just as good.  I added the sage essential oil, and vitamin E oil. A "first" time experience for us this year.    I bought the larger tins at a seed store in an Amish area last year.  They a...

  The pickings are slim right now, but we'll take anything we are blessed with.  I made a salad and cleaned the beans.  The rain will give us more for a meal in a day or so.  The green beans are every so slowly coming on this season. I made a batch of homemade granola, and instead of my homemade vanilla extract, I used my homemade Christmas Spice Extract.  It smelled so good in the oven, and while cooling.   I picked some purslane, and am doing an experiment with it this time.  Update soon.   Chit Chat ©  August 2026 by Kristina at Pioneer Woman at Heart
