Most of the state is in USDA Zones 7 and 8...not *quite* tropical, but mostly mild winters. Coldest it gets here is in the teens, and that's not for long. Average low is 32 to 38.Miss Kittyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13210249894351503887noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12997259.post-1162174930723361372006-10-29T20:22:00.000-06:002006-10-29T20:22:00.000-06:00RE: Stuffed AnimalsI'm thinking more like "rustic"...RE: Stuffed Animals<BR/><BR/>I'm thinking more like "rustic" cartooney cushion-animals with crude outside stitching?

(I too was wowed by the giant FAO Schwartz Steiff animals as a kid!) I have a small Steiff bear, which actually belongs to my daughter.

Every...Hi Miss Kitty,<BR/>It freezes in Georgia? : )<BR/><BR/>P.S. Every time DDD brays in my face I think of the people like you who want a sound clip. One of these days. . .<BR/><BR/>Hi Peggy,<BR/>Yep. : )<BR/><BR/>Hi By The Bay,<BR/>Welcome to the farm!<BR/><BR/>Hi BabyBull40,<BR/>Yep, every year he fluffs up for winter and then sleeks out for summer--with a couple of kinda scruffy (but still adorable) looking weeks on either side. : )<BR/><BR/>Hi Leigh,<BR/>Ha ha, I can just see you surrounded by a herd of donkeys. You definitely need to get yourself at least one little one. You have enough land, and they're really no trouble at all. Katherine & I can give you tips on care & feeding & spoiling. : )<BR/><BR/>New Cat is indeed getting his winter coat. He's already starting to get that regal look about him.<BR/><BR/>Hi Anne,<BR/>Thanks!<BR/><BR/>Hi Daisy,<BR/>LOL, I think it's still okay to wear fur if it's your own. Isn't it? : )<BR/><BR/>Jeff oh Jeff oh Jeff,<BR/>What am I going to do with you? Nice try.<BR/><BR/>Hi Finny,<BR/>Smacked by who? Dan? Never! He really is getting awfully friendly toward me (FINALLY). He loves to be scratched (even on those ears!)and sometimes he'll give my shin a playful little nip (very gentle) like he does to Bear when he wants to play. He's just a young guy still and can be quite frisky.<BR/><BR/>Hi Barbara,<BR/>I know. I love how he looks when he's all slicked out, but that fluffy look is just beyond cute.<BR/><BR/>Hi Cazzie,<BR/>Okay, Dan is friendly, but he's not quite into hugging yet. : )<BR/><BR/>Hi Pennie,<BR/>You're welcome!<BR/><BR/>Hi Lindy,<BR/>I love, love, LOVE it. How cute would that be to have a stuffed animal collection of all my favorite farm critters? Can't you see <A HREF="http://www.foodiefarmgirl.blogspot.com/2005/06/chocolate-chip-sheep-chocolate-chip.html" REL="nofollow"><B>Chip & Chip</B></A> in there, too? Just the other day I was hunkered down next to Snugglebunny, scratching her woolly face, looking into her big dark eyes, and telling her for the millionth time that she looks like a big stuffed toy with her cute woolly face.<BR/><BR/>And of course fluffy Dan looks like a big toy, too. I remember once when I was a kid we were in that huge fancy toy store I'm forgetting the name of--ah! FAO Schwartz?--and there was this life size Steiff camel. It was an outrageous $3,000. I can only imagine how much it would be now. I got a little white Steiff mouse which I still have all these years later. Anyway, thanks for the really great idea. So do you think I should I call up the Steiff people? Might as well start at the top. : )<BR/><BR/>Jeff, Jeff, Jeff. . .Farmgirl Susanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04851855517852917202noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12997259.post-1162061134773027572006-10-28T13:45:00.000-05:002006-10-28T13:45:00.000-05:00I think a rubber Lindy the Chicken would be a hoot...I think a rubber Lindy the Chicken would be a hoot!

I think he would make a wonderful model for such a thing.<BR/> <BR/>In fact, I am now picturing an entire Farmgirl stuffed animal collection. Cary, Dan, Liselotte, Whitey, New Cat, etc., and, of course, Lindy the Chicken. Each one comes with a small storybook.<BR/><BR/>I wonder why I am always having marketing fantasies involving your blog. This is not something I do a lot, I assure you. I have never in my life done a business-y thing more advanced than the usual childhood lemonade stand.<BR/><BR/>Strange.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12997259.post-1162030566825133942006-10-28T05:16:00.000-05:002006-10-28T05:16:00.000-05:00Awe, Donkey Doodle Dandy looks so content, such a ...Awe, Donkey Doodle Dandy looks so content, such a lovely start to my day, thanks Farmgirl :)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12997259.post-1162014406188381172006-10-28T00:46:00.000-05:002006-10-28T00:46:00.000-05:00Oh my, he is oh-so-cute, my kids just wnat to come...Oh my, he is oh-so-cute, my kids just wnat to come on over and hugg him!Cazzie!!!https://www.blogger.com/profile/13856029137337148466noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12997259.post-1162005604834330272006-10-27T22:20:00.000-05:002006-10-27T22:20:00.000-05:00He looks like he's straight out of a storybook!He looks like he's straight out of a storybook!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12997259.post-1162004975672574062006-10-27T22:09:00.000-05:002006-10-27T22:09:00.000-05:00He's so cute when he gets all fuzzy!!He's so cute when he gets all fuzzy!!Barbarahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16629256296450380665noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12997259.post-1161996044080752392006-10-27T19:40:00.000-05:002006-10-27T19:40:00.000-05:00Velveteen donkey?
