Wednesday Dose of Cute: Let's Roll

Let's roll donkeys 1 - FarmgirlFare.com

Donkeyland isn't so much a place as a state of mind (and donkeys), but the original Donkeyland is out in what we used to call the sand field (because of its sandy soil). Our seven donkeys spent the past winter in the big fenced front field (because they kept escaping from the badly fenced hayfield, which is where we wanted them to spend the winter), but on March 19th we decided that the grass had grown up enough for them to return to their beloved home base.

The first thing they did? Head straight to their favorite bare spot for a nice roll around in the dirt. First up was little Gnat. . .

And last but not least, the original, one and only, first longear on the farm, Donkey Doodle Dandy. . .







Where's my treat?

  1. Their backs most have been so itchy all winter! Our cats do the same on the gravel drive when the snow goes.

  2. Well I got my treat....seeing my old friend DDD. I've missed him and all the donkeys.....Love seeing the true green grass, too.

    I had trouble loading the site at first, then there was a message asking if I wanted to reload, clicked yes and a window came up saying it was a Windows issue and it would be reported, after which the post came right up.

    I'm having such a hard time with myblog, too. Pictures are nearly impossible. Not able to do a thing tonight.
    Oh well, I got to visit donkeyland and that's much better. All is well in my world!

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. My apologies for any inconvenience! You're always welcome to email me: farmgirlfare AT gmail DOT com.

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!
