2010 in review

I started my blog in 2008, I’m going on three years now. Boy, does time fly by. WordPress sent out stat report on how well my blog did last year and I must admit I was pleasantly surprised.

Once more I THANK each and everyone of you for stopping by either to just visit or to visit and comment. I have enjoyed getting to know all of you, some people comment once or twice some daily.

I started blogging to form a type of documentary of what it took to work the land on a small (80 acre) farm on the western slope of Colorado. Gradually it has become a form of communication between me and you. One that I have enjoyed very much.

Once more, I very sincerely Thank You for stopping by and commenting. As the song says: Getting to know you, getting to know about you….is, well, fun!
