© Copyright 2009 FarmgirlFare.com the work hard, play hard foodie farm blog where the only thing better than watching two happy dogs romping around and wrestling together is watching them do it in freshly fallen snow. When my foodie mom—who is visiting from California for the holidays—saw the photo I'd put up as my computer desktop background (the 11th one above), she couldn't stop saying, "That picture of Bear and Daisy is so cute!" to which I replied, "That's why I couldn't stop at just one." Sometimes you simply have to post the whole series.
Our hay stacking supervisors: it's a rough job, but thankfully they were up to the challenge.
Wishing you an enjoyable and relaxing 4th of July!

You're never alone on the farm—though you're often the only one actually working.
Bird
Dog
© Copyright 2009 FarmgirlFare.com, the soft landing foodie farm blog where one of the only sheep memories I have from my pre-farmgirl days is of taking a favorite back road parallel to Highway 101 in Sonoma County (the name of which I've completely forgotten, despite the fact that I used to drive on it all the time—I'm thinking it was Old Highway Something or Other) and seeing black birds sitting on the backs of sheep. For some reason I just thought it looked really neat, and I love that this sight—which never ceases to delight me no matter how many times I see it—is now a part of my life.
That's Our Crazy Daisy

© Copyright 2009 FarmgirlFare.com, the big dog foodie farm blog where there's nothing better than an animal loving food blogger, and you know we love to support animal shelters and rescue operations like Bernie Berlin's amazing A Place to Bark. Well, two of the very first food blogging friends we made back in 2005 (Joe is the cooking and baking fiend, Jeff is the grateful eater) are participating, along with their ridiculously cute spotted puppy, Gus, in the Humane Society's 35th annual Five Mile Walk on May 2nd, in memory of their beloved dog, Spike. If you decide to support Team Gus by donating a couple of dollars (all those little amounts add up big!), you'll be helping the Twin Cities Humane Society continue to care for nearly 40,000 animals in need each year. Thank you!
But It's a Little Embearrassing
© Copyright 2009 FarmgirlFare.com, the lovesick foodie farm blog where we believe in a well-rounded diet for all, which meant that a quick chest freezer cleanout yesterday yielded a Tex Mex breakfast of leftover nacho pie for Bear and the big girls (picky beagle Robin doesn't do ethnic cuisine, especially if it contains tomatoes and cilantro) that was greeted with confused sniffs at first but was happily inhaled seconds later.
