    Someone gave me a couple of mullein plants a couple of years ago and I foolishly let one go to seed...they are EVERYWHERE now!! Hubby is not amused! LOL!!

  5. I thought about you as I was watching Ken Burns' "The Dust Bowl" this week. It reminded me of your love for the Missouri land, the challenges it provides, as well as the beauty it shares. A woman named Caroline Henderson was profiled in the series and her story made me think of your passion. Have a wonderful Thanksgiving. I'm thankful you're here to regularly offer us a "slice" of your life!

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!
