Vera Ellen,Frosty and Sancho

I love goats I always have, we've raised many over the years .
I hope to replace our last ol gals , later this year,after the bulk of our house project is completed.
Vera Ellen..was named for her high kicking "dance steps" when she was young)

One year we had 14 goats, not a large herd,but not exactly small either. With the exception of 1 LaMancha and a few of her airplane eared halfbreeds we raised Nubians. One year someone swapped  us a couple of young alpine kids for something,which we inturn swapped for Tiny little Tina.  Tina came to us as a weanling: wild and wooly, right off of the "range" so to speak.  You couldn't even walk past her without a huge explosive reaction(what were we thinking? ).Tina with much farmfunnies "mom" work ,then some finish work from our learning youngsters ,mellowed into our beloved 40" pony that served our growing children and countless others well,she lived a good long life,leaving us (and our grandchildren just old enough to begin learning to ride in earnest far too soon,due to choke.

Sometime I'll write about Lucy 2000 (who broke her leg twice , the  silly goat,you'll hardly believe how she did it...I set it myself  and made a sling to hoist her "high &and dry" to  keep her immobile while it healed,..)

My love of goats is probably why I had to stop and smell the roses at the Sat market.(well ,this time it was goat soap and hand cream) while visiting my artist pal Jeanne Warren at her Sat market booth. 

Of course us gals had to shop..Jeanne  asked the next door booth to keep an eye on hers ,while we  both went sluething for some "stuff" .  We both ended up with hand cream ,artist are that way ,ya know,'cause out hands are subjected to lots of cleaning,washing etc from our projects.

I loved the pinapple goats milk handcream . I don't remember what  kind Jeanne chose ,as my gift to her, for being so special.

I don't know Judy  of goldenwood goat soaps,nor do I receive anything for promoting her or her products ..I just love goats and her product. I also know it's fun helping others and believe what goes around ,sooner or later comes around.  Judy lives fairly close to me ,so someday I hope to go and visit her farm.

I just signed up for Judy's newsletter.  I was already on her mailing list and had received a super "flyer" and noticed that she now has a blog..wow... it is way cool how she makes her soap...check it out  http://goldenwoodsoap.blogspot.com/
