Stories from the Farm

I received an email that I just have to share!

“My name is Charles and I wanted to let you know that ‘Stories from the Farm’ was selected to our list of Top 50 Farm Blogs based on recommendations from other farm bloggers and because we think your blog provides great content for people interested in farming. You can read our review of your blog and see the list at http://www.seametrics.com/blog/top-farm-blogs/

They write – ‘Jacob sheep endowed with ombre shades of wool and remarkable quadruple horns are arguably the stars of “Stories from the Farm”, rendered even more magnificent by blogger Shannon’s camera skills; snapshots of barn swallows, bees feasting on blooms and scenes from the fair provide a glimpse into the everyday joys of an Oregon farm family.’

First, I have to say thank you to those who recommended my little blog! I don’t know who you are, but it’s greatly appreciated.  Seeing the list of blogs, with many that I follow and love, is humbling!  I look forward to visiting all of them.

Secondly,  this has inspired me to be a better blogger.  Several posts have been floating around in my head and I am going to sit down and do a better job of following through…but posting doesn’t do any good if no one reads it, so thank you to those who do!

Lastly, a thanks to Seametrics – they are a water flow measurement company that helps farmers to reduce water use and save money.
A critical part to agriculture, whether it be crops or livestock…efficient use is so important!

and because I just can’t do a blog post without a picture…

here is a picture of little Emeline (not so little anymore) and her new friend, Izzy – more about her soon.
