© FarmgirlFare.com, where we're all safe and sound after last night's crazy rain/thunder/hail/wind storm—which started just as I was about to head down to the barn for a 2am lamb check. Thankfully no tornadoes. Thanks to all of you who have kindly been asking if we're okay.

  14. Your dogs are AWESOME (I'm sure you already know this), and it is obvious they KNOW their jobs. I imagine they must feel an increased sense of duty and uncle/auntie-like pride this time of year. This batch of pictures are especially cute!

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.

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.
