Cookies for the Kids

Evelyne and I spent one whole afternoon making cookies for the kids. Not the two legged kids, our four legged kids. We made several different kinds. Some with carrots and applesauce, some with bananas (peelings and all) and sunflower seeds, some with peach skins and apples and all with molasses, oatmeal and oil. Our creatures really love these things. The bunnies think they are better than those crummy alfalfa pellets we give them (which are delicious IF they can't smell the cookies). The goats stand at the gate waiting when they get a whiff of these yummy treats in our pockets, the chickens don't hesitate to eat them all gone, and even the cats must think they are pretty good, as they will help themselves to the cookies in the container when the lid isn't put on tight enough to keep them out. We are very glad we made them. Since the weather has been below freezing for more than a day and below zero for a couple of nights, the extra nutrition in the cookies is good for the creatures and a lot easier to feed than some store bought supplement. The creatures are glad we made them too!
