Sunday Daily Dose of Cute:
You Can't Fence In A Farm Cat

© Copyright 2008 FarmgirlFare.com, the award-winning blog where this was supposed to be a new recipe post (with accompanying story of course) but it isn't quite finished yet (what always takes so long?), so we figured the least we could do was toss out a Daily Dose of Cute in the interim. And besides, the cats have been severely under-represented in the Daily Dose of Cute department—which is pretty bad since we have eight of them. Of course maybe if the Daily Doses of Cute actually appeared on a daily basis. . .

Monday Daily Dose of Cute: Tractor Cat


That's Our Tough Tortie Topaz (aka 3T)

© Copyright 2008 FarmgirlFare.com, the award-winning blog where Patchy Cat may be the boss around here, but 3T (who, after living at the animal shelter for 15 months before we adopted her last December, chooses to spend nearly every minute outdoors) rules the farmyard — and she loves our rickety old tractors almost as much as Joe does. I think she's already vying for position as next year's hay raker rather than hay inspector. (Oops! I totally forgot I said I would explain the haying process to those of you who asked about it back during haying season. Sorry!)

© Copyright 2008 FarmgirlFare.com, the award-winning blog where Esmeralda (who was just 6 days old when this photo was taken back on July 12th) is 100% donkey but has turned into quite the little attention hound. And yes, a baby donkey who runs right over whenever she sees you and can't get enough hugs and cuddles is definitely cause for some serious cute overload around here.

© 2008 FarmgirlFare.com, the award-winning blog where we're all extremely grateful the latest humid heat wave has finally broken because, whether you're covered with wool or not, there are only so many days a heat index of 110 degrees is bearable on a farm (especially if you're not a summer person) — and sometimes our new portable electric sheep fencing (which Lottie isn't actually touching in the top photo) doubles as crowd control.

© Copyright 2008 FarmgirlFare.com, the award-winning blog where (finally!) both fluffy white livestock guardian pups (who are a Great Pyrenees, Komondor, and Anatolian Shepherd cross — and are getting huge) have names! Lottie actually got hers a few weeks after arriving on the farm back in March, and right from the start we wanted to call the other one Clare, but that rhymes with Bear and — um, we'd better sign off before we break into showtunes.

Monday Daily Dose of Cute:
Itchy Itchy, Scratchy Scratchy

If Only She Could Reach That Backy!

© Copyright 2008 FarmgirlFare.com, the award-winning blog where having two adorable baby donkeys around has proven to be very distracting—and we're loving all the wonderful 'E' names you've been suggesting for Daphne's little girl (pictured above). It definitely won't be easy to choose the perfect one! Hmmm, maybe she needs a two-name name.

Sunday Daily Dose of Cute:
All Dried Off & Raring To Go


Daphne and Her Baby Girl, Age Two Days (taken yesterday)

© Copyright 2008 FarmgirlFare.com, the award-winning blog where Daphne's as-yet-unnamed little girl (it has to start with E!), who was up and running not long after being born, apparently thinks racing shouldn't just be for horses and spent part of the morning galloping around and around and around an imaginary track at top speed while we cheered her on from the sidelines and a slightly confused Daphne watched, turning back and forth and back and forth, from the center of the ring. Then she veered off course and headed straight for the milk bar.

As soon as she and Daphne stop hiding out from the heat in the dark and shady woods, I'll snap some more photos and show you what she really looks like.

Thursday Daily Dose of Cute:
It's Another Birthday Girl!


Still Wet — And Not Just Behind the Ears

Apparently Daphne felt bad that she hadn't gotten me anything for my birthday yesterday since Dolores had, so a couple of hours ago she gave birth to this darling little girl. Mother and baby are both doing fine. Way to go, Daphne — and Daddy Dan!

And the winners of the Comfort Food book and totebag giveaway will be announced just as soon as everybody's done giving birth around here, which technically should be now but you never really know. (And for the last time, that doesn't mean I might be pregnant!)

Wednesday Daily Dose of Cute:
Happy First Birthday Dinky Donkey!


A Year Ago Today: Dolores & Just Born Dinky

© Copyright 2008 FarmgirlFare.com, the award-winning blog where we actually have a whole little series of newborn Dinky photos that we'd planned to share, but time got away from us even more than usual tonight. It must have been baking the late night Parisian Daily Baguettes (beautiful!) that were immediately followed in the oven by a batch of White Whole Wheat Raisin Oat Scones (breakfast!). The rest of the Dinky photos will hopefully be posted tomorrow or Friday. We haven't forgotten about explaining the haying process either but, for obvious reasons, birthday announcements must come first.

Monday Daily Dose of Cute:
Meet Our New Hay Inspector


Topaz takes her job seriously

© FarmgirlFare.com, the scrutinized foodie farm blog where Topaz, who spent 15 months at the animal shelter before we adopted her last December (along with Sarah Kate and Mr. Midnight), decided to move outdoors and is loving her new life as a farm cat. She even rode around the farmyard on the hay trailer before I snapped this picture.

Oh yeah, and I lied — a brief explanation of the whole haying process will accompany the next photo, not this one. Plus I still need to get you caught up with the rapidly growing livestock guardian puppies (yes, they finally both have names!), the new bread bakery building, and some other stuff I'm forgetting at the moment. There are more recipes to share and lots of wonderful new cookbooks to give away, too.

Sheesh. How did I get so far behind? It's been almost a week since the last Daily Dose of Cute. And you haven't even met Sylvester the cat — or the cows! At least we had cake and cookies. That makes everything better, right?

Tuesday Daily Dose of Cute: Sisters in Paws


Not Off-Duty - Busy Growing (taken 4/13)

© Copyright 2008 FarmgirlFare.com, the award-winning blog where the daily cuteness hasn't stopped, just slowed down in the heat — and most of us around here feel like sprawling under a nice big shade tree (or in front of an air conditioner!) and doing a bit of 'growing' ourselves (for about the next three months).

Tuesday Daily Dose of Cute: Playing Hide and Seek


He's Still Learning the Game

© Copyright 2008 FarmgirlFare.com, the award-winning blog where we couldn't decide which was cuter, yesterday's photo of Dinky or this one (which was also taken last September), so we decided to simply post them both.

Water Babies - A Story in Pictures


Eager Anticipation - The Water Tank Has Arrived!

Wednesday Daily Dose of Cute: Baby Bunny for Breakfast? Not Today, Thank You


Look What The Cat Dragged In

© Copyright 2008 FarmgirlFare.com, the award-winning blog where we don't mind if the cats want to catch their own snacks, but when they carry them into The Shack still kicking and screaming, we usually step in and declare it to be a catch and release kind of day - especially if the catch is this cute.
