Measure Twice, Cut Once

Here is a very beautiful sunset that the Lord graced us with.

Hello from the homestead

This post is an update of sorts, we are still haying, the baler is fixed and we can now see the end in site. Over all the haying is going very well only three breakdowns, all of them repairable so far. Now that we are almost done we have decided to share a few ideas I hope will help to boost the blog. The first one is to host a photo contest, it will be one in which anyone can enter by leaving a link to their favorite photo on their blog, they will be prizes and all those wonderful things. So to get a start on that here is my first unofficial photo entry.
My second idea is to host a photo tour of other blogs that have beautiful photos that they would like to share. Once I have the details worked out I will post them, but in the mean time please leave a comment with an email saying you would like to take part.

We have a winner! Congratulations to Rachel Crisman!  Thanks to everyone for entering the contest!  Hope to see you again next quarter for another Bloggy Giveaway!
