I am soooo behind on visiting my favorite blogs, and hope to catch up this weekend, but, in the meantime, a wonderfully woolly, warm, and blessed Thanksgiving to you and yours!

I’ll admit that I am smitten with my sheep, in fact, all of God’s creatures. I love caring for my barnyard family, their wool, milk, ‘friendship’ is a bonus! I also enjoy ‘celtic’ music…the bagpipes and all. It’s timeless, seasonless and seems ’sheepy’ to me. Sweet dreams!

Sweet and simple. Interesting how all that is needed is a sheep, and a mood is set.

I’m curious: Do you listen to “sheepy” music, e.g., John Rutter’s Shepherd’s Pipe Carol and others? I ask because I purchased Ancient Noels by Maggie Sansone, simply because it has shepherds on the cover, and wondered if you find yourself doing that…and I don’t even have sheep, only pastoral dreams…)

Sounds lovely. If I lived near, I’d be there.

I use a chevre starter from Ricki Carroll, New England Cheesemaking Supply. If you’re a choc-oholic, you’ll love the truffles! My does are dried off now, but next Spring I’ll try infusing my chev truffles with lavender. I love my dairy goats too! I can’t imagine my life without them.

This one I’ll have to try. Do you use a starter in a pack or buttermilk for your chevre? I made some really good colby and cheddar this summer, but I sold one of my milkers and only have one right now, so most of the milk is drank or used in cooking. I have three does due in March so I think I’ll have plenty of milk for hard cheeses. I love my alpines.

Great ideas, both of them! Using goat cheese in truffles is a rather startling idea for me. But they look delish.

Oh, I love those! They look so sweet. I also love sheepies sitting around at Christmas time. It’s no coincidence that the angels appeared to the shepherds…
