CHCOCOLATE PEPPERMINT SOAP

Hello Everyone hope you are having a great Sunday. Thought I would post pictures of my chocolate peppermint soap. Yesterday I tried my hand at hot process soap making. As you can see it worked great. I loved doing it and will for sure do it again. The soap smells just like a piece of mint chocolate. The best part is it is ready to use now. Hope everyone has a great Sunday. Rebekah

NEEDED EGG NOG RECIPE!

I'm needing a good recipe for homemade eggnog. I would like one someone has tried and knows that it is good. I'm not wanting to have to do alot of experimenting with this. My quest for a recipe is because my husband loves eggnog. So at Christmas time I always buy it for him but when I went to walmart and had to pay $3.00 for a quart I decided I have to learn how to make it. Thanks Rebekah

Anuual cookie bake and tea.

Well Friday was our annual cookie baking and Christmas caroling with the homeschool group. We made 14 plates and were able to hand them all out. It was a great night and alot of people were blessed by our singing. Now I suppose you are wondering what tea has to do with all of this. After cookie baking and lunch the moms sat down to have tea well the children played outside. This is the tea I had and it is wonderful. You have got to try it. It has a strong cinnamon taste and it is just one of those teas that actually taste good. Hope everyone has a great Sunday. From our farm to you. Rebekah

PREGNANT TURKEY

PREGNANT TURKEY Last year at Thanksgiving, my mom went to my sister's house for the traditional holiday feast. Knowing how gullible my sister is, my mom decided to play a trick. She told my sister that she needed something from the store and asked if my sister wouldn't mi...nd going out to get it. When my si...ster left the house, my mom took the turkey out of the oven, removed the mixed stuffing, and inserted a Cornish hen into the turkey cavity...then re-stuffed the turkey. She then placed the bird(s) back into the oven. When it was time for dinner, my sister pulled the turkey out of the oven and proceeded to remove the stuffing. When her serving spoon hit something, she reached in and pulled out the little bird. With a look of total shock on her face, my mother exclaimed, "Barbara, you've cooked a pregnant bird!" At the reality of this horrifying news, my sister started to cry hysterically. It took the entire family almost two hours to convince her that turkeys lay eggs.See Morehttp://www.mikeysfunnies.com/See More

FARMERS GETTING ALONG

I'm going to approach a subject that I know can get heated. I do feel it needs to be approached though. Grass fed versus grain fed is all the rage. Well I feel you need to do what suites your needs best. I have not researched it so I really cannot say. I'm writing this from a farmers view point. I'm sick of being attacked for doing things the way we do. A side note my father is 76 ate grain fed meat his whole life and drank milk from holestein cows he is healthy. But as for farmers fighting against each other as to what is best is stupid. We as farmers should be supporting one another. I was watching a farm program with my Dad the other day the host read a piece a grass fed farmer had wrote and it was just slamming farmers who feed grain. As he said the in biting among farmers needs to stop. I totally agree! For us to make a profit and keep going we can not take our land make it all in to pasture. We need to raise rotationally crops on this land that make us a profit and the cattle are locked up. Our cattle pasture some land we cannot plant but not all of them. Even though they are locked up they are very well taken care of. They have a clean place to sleep, plenty to eat and drink. Their health is always our top priority. The reason this really burns my butt is because my husband works daylight to dusk taking care of our farm and animals with not much pay at all. Still has to work a real job to make it. We need to be supportive of one another get along and help each other out regardless if we grass feed or grain feed. I know there is people who will not agree with me that is fine but if you leave a comment be respectful of others because they will be reading it. Thanks have a good day.Rebekah

RANDOM THOUGHTS

Well it has been a long day. I had my little ones to watch today and the 9 month old has now decided to start pulling up to things but don't know how to get down. This makes things real interesting. My husband and son got some of the cows wormed today. I did school with the daughter this morning then set out on my project of making candles. The last craft show I did a lady approached me asking if I would be interested in showcasing my candles and other things I make at the salon she manages. So tomorrow I go in and meet with her to take my stuff. Hoping this turns out to be a good thing. The excitement on the farm today was my son left my gate open and our jersey decided to go on a adventure. My husband found her out back wandering around. Hope everyone has a great night. This farmers wife is headed to bed. Goodnight all Rebekah
