And So it Begins!
The house remodel finally began on Tuesday, May 11, 2010. So far we have had excavation, and footings built. The concrete for the foundation is being poured as I type.

Farm Babies
So far we have:
2 heifers
1 bull calf
2 doelings (baby goats)
Still to come (maybe)
1 calf
2 baby goats
We aren't sure on two of the mommies so we will see.
I will post pictures when I get my roaming camera back.
You will see how cute they all are. Spring is soooo fun on the farm! And I get to milk goats again soon. So much fun!

Recipe for inexpensive laundry soap
You can't beat this for good cleaning and easy on the pocket book.
Liquid Laundry Soap
4 cups water
1 Fels-Naptha bar of soap
1 cup Washing Soda
1/2 cup Borax
Essential oil
Grate the bare of Fels-Naptha and dissolve in 4 cups water over warm burner. Fill 5 gallon bucket half full with warm water and add Washing Soda and Borax. Stir until dissolved. Add dissolved Fels-Naptha and add warm water to fill remainder of bucket. Add essential oil for fragrance and stir every 15 to 30 minutes until thick. Use 1/4 cup for front load and 1/2 cup for top load machines.
Works great! I don't use essential oils because they are expensive. I like my clothes to smell clean not perfumed.
Works great.
