I'm also joining in on The 2012 Ultimate Blog Party at 5 Minutes for Mom.
There are great prizes to be won and an opportunity to meet lots of nice folks.
A little bit about me for Party purposes:
My name is Nancy --
I am a 52 year-old farm wife and mother of two grown sons. My union iron worker husband and I live in a 100+ year-old farm house in eastern Nebraska, United States.
In my spare time, I enjoy photography, knitting, reading, cooking, hiking and blogging (which I've been loving since 2007.)
We live on 80 acres of conservation reserve land in a rural county of about 20,000 people.
We have three dogs, several farm cats, geese, ducks, turkeys, chickens and one guinea -- all of which keep me company and extremely busy.
My blog is primarily a place to feature my rural photography, talk about what's happening on our quiet, lazy farm and to meet talented, friendly people from all over the world.
I'd love to meet you. If you follow me, I will definitely visit you and follow back.
