  2. Awww... adorable! She looks like she's trying to eavesdrop on a conversation on the other side of the wall. Too cute.

  4. Gosh. Holding the wall up, hiding, eavesdropping--and here I thought she was just resting.

    Sheep love cozy spaces that feel safe. Being up against some sort of wall is definitely a top priority. They are also creatures of habit. In the barn, each sheep has its own preferred sleeping spot.

    If that spot happens to be a coveted one (like up against the barn gate and the adjacent feed room door) and you want the sheep to move out of your way, well, just forget it. Poking, prodding, and asking politely have no effect whatsoever. I have learned to open the gate, step over the unmoving sheep, and then use all my might to pull open the feed room door just enough to slip my arm through and flip on the water pump. The sheep will shift its weight (against the door) and shoot me a dirty look. Good thing they're so cute. : )

  5. trixie is adorable. how many sheep do you have? are they all pets? or do they (I hate to ask, but I am curious) get eaten. I am thinking because they have names they are not eaten.

  6. Trixie sounds like my cat! Yeah, it kinda looks like she is doing some spying on her fellow sheep in the barn.

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!
