Sunday Dose of Cute: Happy Father's Day!
Hee HAW!
Donkey Doodle Dandy (aka Dan) is daddy to Esmeralda, Evie, Fernando, dear departed little Flitta, and at least one more baby on the way (you can meet Dan here and get to know him better here). The problem is that since we kept Esmeralda and Evie (Fernando now lives on another farm), Dan has to be kept separate from the rest of the pack because we don't want him doing it with his daughters which, unfortunately, we think he already did. (This isn't as bad as it sounds; it's called 'line breeding' and often done on purpose—we've done it with sheep—but we would have preferred that it didn't happen, especially while the girls are still so young.)
Dan doesn't know it yet, but plans are in the works to permanently reunite him with The Donkettes—and halt our slightly out of control donkey reproduction train. I'm both sad and glad. There's nothing cuter than a baby donkey, but donkeys are herd animals, and Dan is going to be so much happier when he gets to stop living with the sheep and be reuinted with his babes people.
Now I just have to decide if I want to breed him with Dolores one more time first.

Except for the morning mist (which has more than once saved our fields from burning up) the only wet around here right now is sweat—and plenty of it.

And A Collection of Snow Photos (just in case you're really overheated)
© Copyright 2009 FarmgirlFare.com, the firewood's stacked up high in the living room wood box foodie farm blog where it was 20 degrees this morning, the kitchen garden was icy white, and snow is supposedly on the way—which means it's officially Cozy Bread and Soup Season! My favorite Four Hour Parisian Daily Baguettes are already on the baking agenda for tomorrow, and now it's just a matter of deciding between Easy Roasted Red Pepper and Tomato Soup with Artichokes and Hearty Lentil Soup with Smoked Sausage—or maybe some Quick Black Bean Chili. Not a yeast bread baker? Beyond Easy Beer Bread (my most popular recipe by far) requires five minutes of work and rewards you with a warm and crusty loaf in under an hour. Got butter?

Sunday Dose of Cute:
What Boys Do During Lambing Season
Not Much (as Evidenced Here by 13-Year-Old Big Chip and Donkey Doodle Dandy)
© Copyright 2009 FarmgirlFare.com, the big-boys-are-still-cute-too foodie farm blog where these two guys (and pretty much everybody else) are a little on the soggy side today, thanks to some wonderful weekend rain that is making the grass grow like crazy—and giving us the perfect excuse to ignore everything that desperately needs to be done in the kitchen garden (beans planted! beets weeded! Swiss chard harvested! leeks and onions thinned and weeded! tomatoes and eggplant transplanted!, compost piles turned! manure tea made! mulch, mulch, mulch!) and instead spend the afternoon baking up three big loaves of Honey Whole Grain Sandwich Bread (and if there's time, maybe some Yip Yap Banana Snaps—or another loaf of that irresistible Lemon Coconut Quick Bread). After all, a girl can't live on bread alone, even if it is homemade.
