Tuesday Dose of Cute:
Who's Soggy Now? (It's Another Sing Along!)

















Fortunately Baby Donkeys Are Waterproof

So far Daphne's baby boy (who still hasn't been given his 'F' name! I've been leaning toward Fernando but haven't quite decided yet) is the only donkey we've had born on the farm this year. That may change very soon, however, since Dolores—who we thought had miscarried during the winter—is now huge. Judging by how much this little guy loves to chase, gnaw on, and generally torment (in a little brother kind of way) his big sister Evie (who doesn't have any interest in playing with him), I know he'll be thrilled if a new playmate shows up.

Want to see more baby donkey cuteness?

  7. How about Francis, like in the old movie series about a donkey who could talk? (not to be confused with Frances which is a girl's name lol)

  8. He is so adorable. I think I have over dosed on his cuteness. What is it about donkeys? I had a burro when I was young and have never stopped loving these guys.

    He does look like Fernando to me.

    That will be wonderful if Delores does has a little one! Delores is beautiful!

  13. That little guy is so cute! How about the name Ferdinand? Did you ever read the children's book about Ferdinand the bull that didn't want to fight, but only wanted to sit under his favorite tree and smell the flowers? It was a popular one at our house:)

  20. There was something in the air that night
    The stars were bright
    Fernando!
    They were shining there for you an me
    For liberty
    Fernando!
    Though I never thought that we could lose, there's no regrets
    If I had to do the same again
    I would, my friend
    Fernando.

    You have cacti? Aren't you in zone 5?

December 2015 update: Hi! For some reason I can't figure out, Blogger hasn't been letting me leave comments on my own blog (!) for the last several months, so I've been unable to respond to your comments and questions. My apologies for any inconvenience! You're always welcome to email me: farmgirlfare AT gmail DOT com.

Hi! Thanks for visiting Farmgirl Fare and taking the time to write. While I'm not always able to reply to every comment, I receive and enjoy reading them all.

Your feedback is greatly appreciated, and I especially love hearing about your experiences with my recipes. Comments on older posts are always welcome!

Please note that I moderate comments, so if I'm away from the computer it may be a while before yours appears.

I try my best to answer all questions, though sometimes it takes me a few days. And sometimes, I'm sorry to say, they fall through the cracks, and for that I sincerely apologize.

I look forward to hearing from you and hope you enjoy your e-visits to our farm!
