Daily Farm Photo: 4/26/06


Green, Green, Green!

Lamb Report: Things are looking up. At 3am I went down to the barn to give Bruisie's spotted baby a bottle, and she got up and helped herself to mother's milk instead. This is the first time I've seen her do that since she was born on Saturday. Yes! She is back to dancing and is quickly making up for lost meals. She also has a new friend in the bonding suite next door--Auntie R. had a big baby boy this morning. Current Lamb Count: 19. Number Of Lady Sheep Still Expecting (for those of you who are wondering when this Lamb Report stuff is going to end already): 5 (not including any more surprise pregnancies).

Answers to all your Munching Mowing Machine questions from Monday are up! Click here. And thanks for your patience.

  1. Can't be anything better than to be up to your belly in sweet green grass. That is,if you are a sheep.

  2. I love this picture - I can just put myself in that field next to mom and baby and smell the green grass. Why can't we all be this happy and peaceful? The new lamb reports never get old and just remind us that even in the midst of what may sound like chaos (24-7 rock music) life still goes on.

  13. Thanks for all the mowing munching question answers! I just learned a ton about sheep that I don't think I would have ever learned otherwise. Very interesting stuff!

  14. You're living the life I dream of. Maybe one day I'll get up the stones to wander away from sunny CA. In the mean time, I'm reading about your garden and sweet sheep and keeping this photo up on my desktop as I click away. Cheers!

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!
