© Copyright 2009 FarmgirlFare.com, the quickly greening up foodie farm blog (another heatwave!) where the white-tailed deer don't need a St. Patrick's Day excuse to munch on their favorite color in the hayfield—which happens to be off limits after March 1st so the grass can grow, but only the domesticated animals pay attention to this rule (and only because we fence them out). But I'd rather have the deer in the hayfield than in the garden!

  2. I know the deer can be a huge pest but they are so beautiful and graceful.

  3. Your pictures are lovely. I wish I held such thoughts about the deer. We have real problems with them. They are bandits. I have a friend who calls them rats with long legs.

  4. I enjoyed your pictures, but especially the donkey pictures. When I lived in Bahia (North of Brazil) a boy with a little donkey (“jegue”) would come to our neighborhood to sell cashews. (The fruit from which the cashews you eat in the US come from are called “cajú” in Brazil; the cashews are just an appendix of the juicy "cajú"—kajooh: http://pinfotos.abril.com.br/busca/tags/comida/ee2b7fe2-c87c-4c72-9b9c-dee24d6b43c0/cajus) The donkey carried two baskets (called “caçuá”—kahsooah) on its back, full of cashews. I remember biting the fruits and sucking the sweet, pungent juice. Your farm seems like A LOT of fun! Milla

  6. Great pictures! Today I pulled over on the highway to let 7 teenaged deer cross - it must be Spring Fever in deer country!

  7. They are so beautiful - we have 6 or 7 who wander through sometimes bed down in our back pasture. I try to keep the water trough full and know they are prey animals - but such beautiful animals - they were here long before us - wonder if they'll be here long after we're gone??

  10. The deer pics are beautiful. Where do they go/find shelter in the winter?

  11. Gorgeous shots, but yes... the deer can be such varmints. Our little miniature schnauzer, Ragz Mae Growlngrrr, takes great joy in chasing them out of our roses, vegetables and orchard. Fortunately, they never stand their ground, and discover what false bravado it is that she exhibits.

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!
