  2. Chuckling here over the ornament! Yes, it does look good as an ornament.

    No snow here in CT but our first big storm on the way tomorrow...a nor'easter.

    Merry Christmas! Seeing the donkeys tonight just rounds out a perfect day!

  3. Merry Chriatmas & A happy new year to all of you on the farm!
    the past few weekends over here were grey, stormy & rainy.
    Yesterday it was sunny with blue sky - a really lovely day.

    In the city where I live there is a family that every year in December turns her house into "Santa's house" and all the kids are invited to talk to Santa and have their picture taken. They have there candy for the kids and the resident Santa gives them little toys - it's not a commercial thing just a family that opens their decorated living room to all the kida (and their parents, of course).

    On the porch, this family collects this time of year bags clothes and other household goods for charity.

    We go there with the kids every year and really like it. This year, in line with the true Christmas spirit of giving, we decided to give them back: i bought a really nice porcelain pie dish, baked them a scrumpcious chocolate pie with ganache and a tree made of shreded green coconut decorated with colored candy (all natural colors, of course) and brought it to them - the lady of the house was so surprised and delighted!

    I'm so glad I could give a little to people who are giving so much to the community every year!

  4. Pretty much like yours--just a little snow. Not enough to make for a really white Christmas, but at least there was no mud.

    A belated Merry Christmas to you and your crew.

  5. Here in Denver our Christmas was 50 degrees and very brown. At least the mountains are white!

  6. White (and grey) like yours. But without the awesome giant green ornament.

  8. Not white this year, thank goodness! Last year we had the EVIL white stuff (ice on top of snow on top of ice.) Too many wrecks.
    So brown was the Christmas color here in C-Town, Oklahoma. Unless there's a color for something that moves like lightning.
    What color is zap? Brassy gold with fiery spakles? That's the speed at which it moved.
    Oh, well. There's another one next year. Right?
    Hope yours was great!

  12. If you had our snow (or we had your donkeys), they wouldn't get out of the barn. Our three sheep are stuck in the barn because the wind keeps blowing huge drifts on their door and keeps blowing inside the barn unless the door is shut! Drifts are now over the 4 foot snow fences! Enjoy your little dusting and enjoy your donkeys!!!

  14. We had a few slushy snow flurries. Not even enough to slick the roads.

December 2015 update: Hi! For some reason I can't figure out, Blogger hasn't been letting me leave comments on my own blog (!) for the last several months, so I've been unable to respond to your comments and questions.

Hi! Thanks for visiting Farmgirl Fare and taking the time to write. While I'm not always able to reply to every comment, I receive and enjoy reading them all.

Your feedback is greatly appreciated, and I especially love hearing about your experiences with my recipes. Comments on older posts are always welcome!

Please note that I moderate comments, so if I'm away from the computer it may be a while before yours appears.

I try my best to answer all questions, though sometimes it takes me a few days. And sometimes, I'm sorry to say, they fall through the cracks, and for that I sincerely apologize.

I look forward to hearing from you and hope you enjoy your e-visits to our farm!
