Finally out after two days

It has finally quit snowing so the goats decided it was time to adventure out.  After clearing some paths the ducks decided to come out as well.  If it's still nice after the Chiefs football game this afternoon, we are going to take them for a walk in the woods.

Goats and snow

Yesterday the goats stuck their heads out the door and decided they wanted nothing to do with the snow.  Even the ducks wouldn't come out.  Today the sun was shining and the winds light so we decided to take them out to catch a few bites of greenery left in the woods.  The goats love to walk in the woods with us and it was usually a daily ritual to take them.  Now with the weather turning colder, I will miss our walks in the woods.

Making butter

Today I decided to make butter from a quart of heavy whipping cream.  Not only did I get almost a pound of butter but a little over 2 cups of buttermilk as well.  All you have to do is pour the heavy whipping cream in a bowl.  Since my bowl was small it took me three times longer.  So use a bigger bowl and make it all at once.  Then with a hand mixer and the wire whip attachment, whip until you start to see some liquid.  Push the almost butter to the side and strain into a cup.  I used my measuring cup.  Then whip some more until it holds together.  Using a spatula I squished as much of the liquid out as I could and strained it again.  Put the butter and buttermilk in containers and frigerate. That's all there is to it.  Can't wait to use the butter on the rosemary rolls I have raising to go with tonight's dinner!
