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.

Apples and Tomatoes Oh My!

  The early morning weather here has been downright chilly.  One morning it was 42 degrees.  Flower beds have been weeded.  The herb garden is next in line, but I do need to figure out what to do with all the rosemary plants I planted in the actual vegetable garden.  I have not mastered keeping them alive all winter indoors.  They will not survive the winter if left outside. Did any of my blog writing followers locate a better "blog" platform online?  Just curious if anyone is moving from blogger. 

Under the Weather ~ What's Growing?

  I have not been around in blogland much, due to being under the weather after I pushed myself way to far one day.  I have to remember we cannot do it all in one day.  Thank goodness for teas and tinctures, and healing foods (and rest).  We are feeling better. As for our blogs being used for advertising on many websites, and so forth (I can't see any other reason for the source of views: howstuffworks, dominospizza, mayoclinic {not the blog readers interested in my actual blog}) the numbers continue to climb.  I have not found a way to "opt" out either.  If any of you find a new way to avoid this, blog elsewhere, find a new platform etc, please be sure to share.   If your blog has ads, you are are not going to complain, ha ha!  You are probably making a bucko-bucks with all these visitors to your blog. Okay, back to the update post . . .

16 Weeks Until Christmas

  It's not hard to believe that we are traveling closer to the winter holidays.  I'm trying to focus on enjoying every single day until then, but I am fitting in a few snippets of holiday preparing.  Christmas is my favorite holiday of the year.  It's hard to believe it's the last day of August. I have not yet gotten rid of the links to all the advertisers using my blog posts, but again, still working on it. However, my profile has gone from my blog, and while I am in settings, it is not able to add as a "gadget" to the blog.  Weird things are happening.   Google had a data breach recently as well, so gmail users were advised to change passwords.  Not sure what else is going on, but just in case you are wondering why my "profile" is not on my blog any longer.   Okay, back to the Christmas countdown post . . .
