Welcome to the Friday Farm Fix, a new series on Farmgirl Fare where I share a random sampling of what's been happening around the farm during the past week. Just joining us? You'll find all the Friday Farm Fix posts here.
Lots more photos below. . .
Salted onion rye bread for Joe's birthday. The recipe, which I've been perfecting, will hopefully be up soon. Made two more loaves plus six burger buns/sandwich rolls tonight. Yum.
Learn more about our rustic homemade greenhouse here.
Planting three kinds of bush beans: Straight 'N' Narrow, Maxibel, and my favorite Dragon Langerie.

Pizza night! My easy pizza dough recipe is here, and my simple homemade Italian sausage recipe is here.
Baby chicks at a friend's farm
And newly hatched chicks on our farm. A peep report coming soon!
The songbirds are singing, the wild turkeys are gobbling, the squirrels are scampering, the bees are buzzing, the butterflies are fluttering, the new chicks are peeping, the baby lambs are bouncing, the grass is growing, the seeds are sprouting, the flowers are blooming, and the fireflies are already dancing. Spring has definitely sprung!
© FarmgirlFarm.com, where there sure is a lot going on around the farm this time of year—and my goal is to actually get these posts up during the day, otherwise I need to change the name to Friday Late Night Farm Fix. I'm headed back to the barn for one last lamb check, and then hopefully it's goodnight. Wishing you a beautiful, spring filled weekend!
Seriously beautiful pics. Love the butterfly and the trees -- and the little lambs ganging up on the big dog is so cute! ^__^
ReplyDelete'So very beautiful! Thank you!
ReplyDeleteLooks a bit like Heaven to me! Love it
ReplyDeleteI'm enjoying your Friday pictures very much - so many changes during this time of year -
ReplyDeleteFor years I have marveled at how all your various animals seem to coexist. Do you ever have a problem with (for example) a cat going after a chicken????
ReplyDeleteOh, if only our world could be like your farm
Hi Gramps,
DeleteActually, it's more like a chicken going after a cat - which is always something to see. ;) We do have the occasional inter-species squabbles (and same species squabbles!), but for the most part, our animals all get along amazingly well. Yes, if only everyone could live together that peacefully. . .
Babies of all kinds, sumptuous breads and pizza, garden in progression, Bert on duty, white chicken with black kitty, landscape, smiling lambs and hounds, flowers...Friday Farm Fix could not be more fun and artist.
ReplyDeleteI do not know what to love on first! But I must say the the little white lamb with the bedroom eyes melts my heart and Daisy with her new lamb buddies is awfully adorable. Happy Spring on the farm!
ReplyDeleteI truly enjoy your blog and all the photos, recipes, etc. Don't ever stop! Those little chick photos were a real sensation with my 3 y/o granddaughter and 18 month old grandson. And we ALL adore the donkeys!
ReplyDeleteComing to read or look at your photos in the evening after a long day of providing infant day care is sooooo relaxing for me. I also do a lot of research on nutrient-dense nutritional stuff, so I am always on the lookout for recipes, even if I have to alter them somewhat.
Keep up the great work.
I love the Friday roundup! Thanks for giving us a peek even though you don't have time for the full write-up!
ReplyDeleteDonkeys are very organized - small to large.
Marta beast looks increasingly feral - maybe the shearer needs to have a go! :)
Peeps are gorgeous as are the spotted lambs.
Your blog is a bright spot in my day :) The pics are great - Thank you for all your hard work!

Friday Farm Fix is a really wonderful idea! How brilliant of you to think of it - and even better to share a little bit of all the different things going on at the farm. I love your blog (I may have said that before!!) - it is truly a highlight of the day to get to see the beauty of your farm and all the animals. thank you, too, for sharing your wonderful recipes - I've made many of them and loved them all.
ReplyDeleteIt sure is greening up nicely at your place!
