Wednesday Dose of Cute: Nibbling on Cedar Trees
It's a Holiday Tradition!
© FarmgirlFare.com, the tippytoed foodie farm blog where some people decorate trees for Christmas and others prefer to eat them. (Joe refers to all the animals as people—but don't tell him I told you.)

Thursday Dose of Cute: Roadblock
Protesting Something?
There's nothing like a ewe with an attitude. At 13½, Martha is the last of my old girls. Long since retired from breeding, she now spends her time complaining loudly over the slightest injustice, leading the rest of the flock through the woods and around fences in order to get closer to any feed buckets she might hear rustling, and sitting down wherever the heck she wants.
Contrary to what Martha may claim about being chronically treat deprived (despite getting to eat with the pregnant ewes all winter because she's old and I'm a sucker), I think she's led a pretty good life.

© FarmgirlFare.com, the four wheel drive foodie farm blog where bouncing around the farm in our beloved little '93 Suzuki Sidekick (nicknamed the S.U.B. by Joe, for Sport Utility Bug because it's even smaller than a Mini Cooper) always makes me feel as if I'm living in a Disneyland ride—in a good way.

Tuesday Dose of Cute: Spoiling the Sheep
Who, us?
© 2010 FarmgirlFare.com, the tenderfooted foodie farm blog where Big Sweet Teddy, another one of my, ahem, 'useless' pet wethers has been in quarantine due to an unfortunate and tenacious case of foot rot. He may be living apart from his flock (he can still see them), but with plenty of daily treats, a nice dry hut to call his own, and a specially made personal shade device (compliments of my handy hunky farmguy), he definitely isn't suffering much. In fact, some days I wonder if he's even trying to get better.

Monday Dose of Cute: Woollies in the Woods
It's Acorn Chasing Season!
© 2010 FarmgirlFare.com, the foraging foodie farm blog where it's a good thing we leave all the black walnuts that fall from the trees around The Shack for the poor squirrels to feast upon during winter—rather than bagging them up and selling them in town—because the squirrels don't stand a chance against the sheep when it comes to snuffling up acorns.

© 2010 FarmgirlFare.com, the all night bark-a-thon foodie farm blog where Daisy's livestock guarding partner is Marta (aka Marta Beast and Marta the Mess), a tri-mix (Great Pyrenees, Anatolian Shepherd, and Kommondor) who looks and moves like a big goofy, adorable Muppet and is usually too busy working to pose for cute pictures. She's doing just fine—and is now even bigger than Daisy! I'll be writing more about Marta soon, but in the meantime you can see some recent pictures of her here(there's also a bunch of information about how our three dogs work around the farm in the comments section of this post), and get to know her better here.

Tuesday Dose of Cute: It's Another Sing Along!
One of these things is not like the others. . .
Sing out loud, sing out strong:
5/12/06: Who's Sog-gy Now?
10/18/08: Getting to Know You. . .
7/5/10: Time for a Patriotic Sing Along!
Wow, Little Gnat is already one month old:
8/20/10: Oh Boy, Oh Boy
8/22/10: Not to Worry
8/23/10: Morning Group Shots
8/25/10: Jealous Little Guy?
8/29/10: Learning the Rules
9/1/10: On the Trail of Treats, Version Two
9/2/10: Kiss Kiss
9/10/10: Catching On
9/16/10: Lucky Buddy Bear and Little Gnat
© FarmgirlFare.com, the off key foodie farm blog where I didn't realize until just now that so far all of our sing alongs have had to do with donkeys. I guess sheep and chickens just don't inspire singing like longears do. Except for a rousing round of 'Old MacDonald Had a Farm' of course. Okay, yeah, I bet that's going to be going through your head for a while. Should I go ahead and apologize now?
And for those of you wondering about that giant dirt circle in the middle of an otherwise grassy field, I'll show you what it's used for in a future dose of cute.

Wordless Wednesday Dose of Cute
© FarmgirlFare.com, the very easily amused foodie farm blog where empty buckets are usually kept far out of sheep reach, but when one does end up on a head, it always cracks me up. You, too? There's another one, along with a nice Mother's day tale, here.
Animal cruelty disclaimer: The sheep in these photos (who willingly put the buckets on their heads) were not harmed during any photoshoots. This ewe you see here was happily licking molasses residues off the inside of her bucket until it was gently removed immediately after this picture was snapped.
