Here's in northwest Oregon we are having a day made for a duck! To prove it I've included a picture of our lone duck "Arwen" enjoying today's rainy weather. Arwin is a dwarf breed of duck known as an East Indie and at nearly 10 years old she is the last of our waterfowl. She woke me early this morning when I heard her quacking happily in her "pond" in our driveway.

I've tried many, many coconut scents and had trouble finding one that "sticks" in my goat milk soap. Finally, I found one that passes with flying colors. This is a creamy, soft, slightly sweetened coconut fragrance. Enjoy!

On these damp, chilly mornings I often see the goats standing like statues absorbing the warmth from the sun. I can't blame them.
