Milk And Honey

Last November my three adult does Ginger, Nutmeg and Sugar were bred to Pistol a darling little Mini Lamancha  dairy goat buck. Pistol lives right up the block. He stayed here for about six weeks then went back home.

Ginger is ready to come out and walk the goats four acre pasture to keep in shape for her April due date. But below Sugar is sound a sleep and didn't hear me while the others were being photographed!

Sugar was awakened after I called her name, walked out on to the grass and preceded to lay right back down. She must have had a hard night because she is not big with babies yet. All three does are due to freshen in April.
Paula gave me some comb from one of her top bar bee hives yesterday. Instructions were to crush the comb and drain honey out. I want to save the wax also for another project I'd like to make later.
I placed the comb in a paint strainer bag and it's hanging from my kitchen cabinet.

 I've had fun kneading it now and then and licking my fingers, great stuff! I think I'll leave it here over night and clean the wax tomorrow.

I wish I could have goats... I don't have fencing, and while I want to make cheese, I don't really want to have to milk them on a schedule. Oh, well, I'll have to find a source for goat milk here!

They're so cute - can't wait to see the kids!

I will look forward to seeing pics of the little kids! Yum - fresh honey!

I think the bowl you're straining the honey into is probably a collectible.
