I went out to feed this morning and found a nice surprise...one of the Black Copper Maran hens had hatched six half breed chicks! It looks like our Buff Orpington Rooster "Fancy Pants" has been very busy!

The goats my sister gave me are doing great...we named them" Polly Vu" and "Fon sa", there mother 509 is a good mama.

Farm Christmas Cookies!

Here is a great shortbread ginger recipe. I made these with a Brown Bag Shortbread cookie pan...with these great animal figures. This is the first time I have used this pan and they worked out great.

Ginger Shortbread

1/2 cup butter at room temperature
1/4 cup light brown sugar-packed
3/4 teaspoon ginger
1 cup flour - unsifted
1 Tablespoon corn starch

Cream the butter. Cream in the brown sugar and the ginger. Now work in the flour and corn starch. Knead the dough on an board until nice and smooth. Cook at 325 about 30-35 min or until brown.

Happy Holidays!
