Thank You Natalee for All You Have Done
You are truly an angel. Watching you grow is pure joy. You gave me the time to heal that I so desperately needed. There was no way I could have continued caring for our critters with this foot injury. Thank you so very much. Into week four of the broken ankle is so much better …

Barn Cleaning Update
Sigh ... what a job. I set the standard way too high -- again. I exhaust myself sometimes. Not to mention what that standard does to my helpers. But Don is an incredible sport. Guess he's used to me and my modalities. Anyway, MOST of the items have been returned to the barn. But I'm …
We’re taking a ‘barn cleaning’ break
It's been long over due but we're cleaning the big barn. It's entirely too dirty to house newborns, and out of the question dirty for milking; we need 'sanitary' in the milking area. So, for the first time ever, I'm taking time out from making our goat milk soaps so I can get ready for …

Conversing with Mother Nature
ANOTHER snow system? Goodie. Look Mother Nature, out here at the ranch, we need running water in all the barns, so please keep the temperature above 35. Otherwise I have to haul water buckets to four different pens. Do you know how much water weights? Yes, of course you do. Sorry, I wasn't thinking. Well, …
Take a day off
We took Sunday today off and loved it. Working from home has its benefits but it also has it drawbacks. Those of you who work from home know what I'm talking about. On one hand I'm glad that I'm able to work from home; but, on the other hand, I'm always working when I'm at …
Who is GraNann?
It's every grand mother. In my case, it's a combination of Gran' and Nanny. GraNann. Doesn't that sound more exotic than Granny. Grand Mother would be acceptable but it's too long. I wanted something that would be easy to remember and short. My grandmothers were Mamaw and MaMa. Hummm ... .Did not want to be …
so much to do … so little time
Finally weaned the babies from their mamas. Now it's time to milk, milk, milk. Shazammmmm, do we have milk for our soaps! We're cranking soaps out as often as possible. AND a few of the babies are for sale. We got a super batch of babies this year. Check 'em out at this link.
