Last Chance to enter is coming soon.. So far I have two ladies entered, but figured while they must be loving their 50/50 odds at the moment that I would give a gentle reminder in case anyone else wants to enter 🙂
Well a offer came in my mail box today, Small Farm Canada is having a 2 for 1, I renew my membership (which I had already planned on doing) and I get one free year of this great magazine arriving in someones in their mail box for a year..
So I am giving it away to my readers.. rules are simple
1) open to canadian readers only, sorry folks, its a canadian magazine for small farms
2) Leave your name in the comments and share a funny farm story, it can be short, it can be long, it can be a farm joke, it can be when you went to a petting zoo.. but try and make it true!
3) I will put each name on a peice of paper and have DH’s ma make the draw at the end of Sept when she visits..
4) you will need to be willing to send your real name, mailing address privately to me, so that I can give it to the correct person to be able to get your gift..
That’s it folks.. Good Luck!
Just another Day on the Farm 
The funniest real story I have would be the first time I took Starvation (our now almost three-year-old) out to L’s farm. L and I went into the barn to look at the goats, and she said, “Oh, let him play. He’ll be fine.” When we came out of the barn, he was nowhere to be seen. After a bit of looking, we found him in the … well, I don’t know what it’s called, but it’s one end of the barn where the beef cattle are sometimes put outside. He was just outside the fence, but that’s all run-off, too. Well, that child was in a mud/manure puddle up to his chest, and he couldn’t move because the muck had his feet stuck. When L and I finished laughing, she got the high pressure hose and washed him off as best she could. I don’t think I was able to save the sneakers, though, and she ended up loaning me one of her son’s outfits to get home.
She has admitted that her own sons have jumped into the run off from the “honey pot”? (I remember honey, but what was the other word?), the machine that empties out the cow and goat manure. Maybe it’s not so bad when you’re two or three??
I would have entered earlier, but I couldn’t remember any really funny stories. You already have my name, address and phone number. 🙂
