Incredible Excursion!

-
I recently joined a local Heifer International volunteer group.  The leader of the group is a lovely woman who made me immediately feel welcome and I’m really looking forward to getting to know her as well as the rest of the group.

Earlier last week she called and asked if I would be interested in going to the Heifer Ranch for a Lambing Weekend.  I have to say that it was one of the best times I’ve ever had.  I got to witness several ewes give birth, met some fantastic people, and listened to some incredibly enlightening lectures.  The ranch is an extraordinary place and I highly recommend taking a visit there at your earliest opportunity!

I met this fellow...


 
and this silly guy!
 
 
 
I discovered that I absolutely LOVE milking goats!
 

 











We took a walking tour...and a goat along for the walk....

 
The bee-keeping demonstration was an unexpected treat!

Stir in mascarpone until incorporated. Whisk egg whites until soft peaks form. Fold in beaten egg whites into mascarpone mixture. In a small bowl combine coffee and rum. Dip ladyfingers into coffee-rum mixture and lay in rows in the bottom of a 9-by-13-inch dish. Spread half of the mascarpone cream on top. Make one more layer of ladyfinge
