Homesteading through a Blizzard

Barn under snow. And still falling.
Soon Bonnie won't be
able to see out the back door!
First things first during a storm.
Rob and the boys shovel
small pathways so we can get to the barns.
Blizzard Kolbe! Even though his
name is spelled different from this
blizzard I knew it was going to be
a whopper!


Butch is wondering
when all the white stuff will stop falling. 

Daisy at another hay feeder. There is
plenty for every goat!
Snow doesn't bother the goats
as long as they have yummy hay in their barn.

Gigi hanging around outside the goat barn.
Tommy wondering if we
are still going to milk the goats
in this weather.
Every morning he gets a sample!
The chicken run is under snow.
So we opened the entry way and
made it into a make-shift patio for them.
Katniss checks out the new chicken patio.
Chickens in their patio!
Chores done . . . let the games begin!








Bonnie having fun on the path.


Millie makes a bee-line
for the house. 
Yummy. Homemade
Hot Chocolate to warm the soul!
Homemade Hot Chocolate
For every 10 oz. of milk (we used goat milk of course)add:
2 Tablespoons sugar
a pinch of salt
1 Tablespoon of unsweetened cocoa powder
1/2 teaspoon of vanilla 

Whisk in pot on low heat until sugar and cocoa are dissolved. Continue to heat until desired temperature.
