I love your blog, your photos, and your writing style. And I SUPER love your heart shaped rock! I have a collection of them myself - all found by my sweet hubby when he's on camping/hunting trips. When I saw the rock I just had to leave a comment so you would know I had been here and that I thoroughly enjoyed myself. :o)Deb @ PaperTurtlehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00957816023851249171noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12997259.post-61361891831092280762012-06-13T11:16:35.970-05:002012-06-13T11:16:35.970-05:00Congrats on your seven year milestone!

My husband and I have a small farm in the Arkansas Ozarks and we are praying for rain, too. We used to grow lavender, but the ice storm in 2009 killed all five acres of our plants. So we have been trying to decide what direction we want to take the farm now. I will be interested in hearing about the workshop you went to and what you learned.<br /><br />JoyceAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12997259.post-83687895399336984142012-06-10T13:52:29.783-05:002012-06-10T13:52:29.783-05:00Congratulations!

Since 2006, your words and photos have made me laugh/cry, cheered me up, and given me great advice about my animals and plants. Oh, and the recipes are amazing, too. I've made Hearty Lentil-Sausage Stew dozens of times, and it never gets old. <br /><br />Indeed, it's hard to know what the future will bring. But I hope I'll be reading Farmgirl Fare for years to come.

Now I've got a lot of catch-up reading to do, along with all those recipes to try, and all those photos to look at. I grew up in Springfield with roots in southern Howell County, and your photos of the land around your farm are a connection to the Ozarks, a part of the country my heart still calls home. Thanks so much for sharing your farm with us through your blogs. I can't wait (well, I guess I'll have to wait) to see what comes out of the workshop you went to. Whatever you do, I wish you the best!<br /><br />Vicki in MISPhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11343721395351130961noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12997259.post-3883159962371644512012-06-07T13:27:55.669-05:002012-06-07T13:27:55.669-05:00Congratulations!

I'm going to try using Farmgirls little Amazon entryway to see if I can get her a credit on these purchases-then it gets really good-recycling annoying change for something we use, not giving CS a commission, helping indie bookstores in an era of electronic books, and giving FGirl a commish!!!!!!!!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12997259.post-39541323995665448262012-06-06T20:28:50.631-05:002012-06-06T20:28:50.631-05:00Congratulations on 7 wonderful years!

I have always wanted to live on a farm and after 53 years my dream came true. I have 60 sheep (not counting lambs) and three horses right now. Of course, dogs and cats too. It has been ten years and, yes, there has been a huge learning curve. My husband and I both have jobs to support the farm. Luckily mine is part time. And like your recent post, I have to worry about injury/illness. There is no time to be sick on a farm. I hope to enjoy your blog in the future years.Elaine Hnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12997259.post-3905133695647694042012-06-06T13:53:45.654-05:002012-06-06T13:53:45.654-05:00Isn't it funny how God brings us together?

You were right beside me when the man I'm gonna marry was (unbeknownst to me) making his subtle overtures. :-)<br /><br />I found you through a BBC radio show about food blogging wherein someone else's blog was mentioned and through a few links, I found yours. I'm afraid I don't remember the blog they referred to - I found yours and was hooked. Cary, heart shaped rocks, memum-memum pie, the little lady at the auction, the llamas, the ratty halter, the laundry line, pesto/pizza pie, the cute little cowboy, Hunky Farm Guy (of course!) the tragedies, the joys, and of course a whole bunch of stuff you don't publish. I can't imagine not having you around as a dear friend and a great writer.<br /><br />Here's to the future! Hope the course is inspiring and fruitful ;-).<br /><br />BW.
