I've learned a lot from you and have discovered so many other great blogs and other resources from you. I only recently found your blog while browsing the web for info on homesteading and eating local. I live in an urban area now, but we dream of moving to a rural area and having our own homestead. In the meantime, I'm learning everything I can now. We do have a garden, which I hope to expand next year, and I'm trying to eat more locally by frequenting farmers markets and local farms. <BR/><BR/>Paula<BR/>http://www.ruraldreams.blogspot.comPaulahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02888671594685960326noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28663723.post-59234918287949319492007-07-23T12:16:00.000-05:002007-07-23T12:16:00.000-05:00Hey there Phelan,I'd like to take this time and co...Hey there Phelan,<BR/><BR/>I'd like to take this time and congratulation you on your awesome blog and inform you that you are in the running for <A HREF="http://www.blankestblank.com/bestest/blog-of-the-year/" REL="nofollow">Bestest Blog of the Year</A>.
