The Daily Donkey 108: Daisy in Donkeyland (she only looks miserable)
© FarmgirlFare.com, where we cluckle and chuckle our way through the day, and I'm really behind replying to comments and e-mail. Thanks for your patience.
Wednesday Farm Photo: Hail, Hail
The weird weather's here!
We often have large hail predicted during warm weather thunderstorms, but it usually never materializes. Today it did, starting out small and quickly increasing in size. I've never seen hail this big before—and look at those spikes. Very cool.
© FarmgirlFare.com, where today's storm also brought a nice little drop in temperature—and some really loud pounding on The Shack's uninsulated old tin roof.

Monday Farm Photo: Safe and Sound
And all is well.
Thanks to everyone who has been asking if we're okay after last night's devastating weather hit Missouri. We had the animals tucked in and everything battened down before the storm arrived, and thankfully we weren't near the tornado. Our hearts go out to all of the people and animals in Joplin.
Check back later today for the Monday Dose of Cute and the Daily Donkey 106.
Wishing you a safe and happy week!

Recipe: Sunburst Carrot Soup with Fresh Ginger, Orange, and Carrot Juice
A healthy, lowfat soup recipe that's packed with carrots and bursting with color and flavor.
During a summer outing several years ago, a friend said to me, in the way only a British gentleman can, "How do you get the bottoms of your feet that lovely shade of golden bronze?"
I examined the bottoms of my feet. They were orange.
"And your palms match, too." I flipped over my hands.
I thought of the 80's movie Soul Man, where the main character takes a mega dose of beta carotene tanning capsules in order to darken his white skin so he can pass for an African American.
How had I not noticed this?
"Um, I eat a lot of carrots," I admitted sheepishly.

Tuesday Dose of Cute: Why We Laugh at the Thought of Landscaping the Backyard
Back on the Mole Patrol (in the backyard)
The Daily Donkey 100! A Smiling Group Shot (of almost the whole group)
Just discovering The Daily Donkey? I post a new donkey photo every day, and you can catch up with all the longear laughter here.
© FarmgirlFare.com, loving the fact that for the first time ever we have the living room wood stove going in mid May (and the bed still piled with vintage quilts), especially since this will probably be our last night using it. Yes, we really are (finally!) moving out of The Shack and into the (still sort of) new building very soon. No, seriously.

Monday Dose of Cute: Off To Greener Pastures!
Oof.
The Daily Donkey 99: Dan and a Whole Lot of Lambs
© FarmgirlFare.com, where a silly old donkey gate will never stop a bunch of starving sheep—or even a bunch of sheep with full bellies on their way back to The Shack for the night. (Well, not to The Shack, as in curled up on the sofa watching Babe, but near The Shack.) These woolies go where they want.

Friday Night Dose of Cute: Cock-a-Doodle-Doo!
We're back!
Blogger, my awesome blog host, had a little hiccup yesterday, and nobody was able to post for about 20 hours. But after the tireless Blogger team spent all night chasing down the problem, we're back and ready to blog better than ever.
I'm a little bummed that after 95 consecutive Daily Donkeys (in addition to my regular daily posts) I had to miss a day, but at least I can say it definitely wasn't my fault—and The Daily Donkey is back today, too.
The Daily Donkey 96: We're Back!
© FarmgirlFare.com, where it's storming once again (no complaints here, as we need lots of rain this time of year to help the grass in the grazing and hay fields grow), but I'm trying to quickly finish this up before the satellite Internet connection goes down and we won't actually be back anymore. See you again—hopefully—tomorrow!

The Daily Donkey 93: Sometimes You Just Gotta Roll with It
© FarmgirlFare.com, glad to be finally heading toward bed—by way of the kitchen in the hopes of foraging something for dinner—after a very long, hot day both on and off the farm. Ah, sleep.
