After the 8 weeks of chickens – a long summer of hard work – and a massive garden that tested our abilities… all preparing for “prime time” next year where we are expecting to be at the farmers markets with some interesting produce and chicken buying options… THIS YEAR we needed a well deserved break – so we headed to Maine in early August and surprised Tim and MaryAnn by “just coincidentally” booking the last night of our vacation (they knew nothing about) at the same B&B that they had been planning on going to for months.
We had a great time – enjoyed each others company – and munched down a bunch of lobster. Just look at that “bug”…. mmmmm…

Hey there, it’s Ian at Farm Blogs from Around the World(www.farmblogs.blogspot.com)
You left a comment on my blog back in June I think it was, I completely missed it, have just seen it, and have had fun looking at your blog. (I liked the way you wrote about the chicken slaughter.)
As you probably know, I generally let other bloggers recommend but if I find something I like (and I liked yours) I will recommend myself.
So, for now I’ve added you to the blog roll. (You can find the blog roll, sorted by country – and a General Interest section.)
However, I am trying to provide a little more info besides each link – namely location; acreage; stock and crops raised).
I would very much appreciate it if you could please consider:
a) writing to me with a brief description of your blog and holding (at a minimum location; acreage; stock and crops in order to help people find like minded souls) along with permission for a once off only use of a couple of photos from your blog, so that I can make a posting about you;
b) writing to me with your favourite farming/rural blogs recommendations;
c) add a link on your blog, if that’s possible, to http://www.farmblogs.blogspot.com; and if you can find a moment even make a posting about http://www.farmblogs.blogspot.com and how this blog is growing organically accross the world from other farming bloggers.
d) please feel free to send me the odd photo, both now and on an on-going basis (people who do this write to me about once a month, with a brief para of text and up to 5 photos – again it helps drive traffic to them). The blog tries to pick up different seasonal activities in different parts of the world at different times, so any photos would be much appreciated – they also help drive traffic to your site.
I know this is a drag but a lot of people are finding that my blog is driving a lot of traffic to them, so I hope you can find a moment to drop me a line. Very much hoping to hear from you,
With kind regards,
Ian

P.S Sorry to taking such a ridiculous amount of time to contact you – a busy summer!
Yuuuum! This is something I always tell Brett I want to do….do the New England thing in the fall, see the leaves changing color, fog rolling in, eating lobster, etc (Ok, some of these things, like the fog, are just in my imagination – I have no idea if/when it’s foggy in New England!)
Ian – Sorry for the pause in response – I’ll get on that in the next few days!
Jeph – It was foggy almost all weekend!
