It's official ... happy July! This is the July image in the 2011 On the Farm calendar, and it reminds me of all the hard work that goes into a garden, and the labors of putting up harvest for enjoyment during the winter months.
I happened to find an extra 2011 On the Farm calendar on my desk's shelf, and would like to mail it to one lucky reader. It's the small calendar size (5x7ish). If you'd like to be entered into the drawing, leave me a note on this post. I'll select one name from all entries on Sunday, July 3rd.
I'm also starting to work on the 2012 calendar, so stay tuned for those details in the next few months!
UPDATE: Comments on this give-away are now closed. Thank you!

What an awesome offer! I would LOVE to be entered into the drawing. I so enjoy your beautiful photography around the farm.

Your wonderful site bring me joy each day.
I don't comment often but I read every line and look at every picture closely.
I was raised on a farm till my pre-teens and the chickens were all mine and I love, love, love them.
I now have them as decorations all over my house. lol
I would so love to win this calender.
Keep posting you wonderful farm life photos.
I have a question, a few weeks ago in a video you showed us some of your garden and there were white tomatoes there. Can you tell what kind they are and would they grow in Canada do you think. I have never seen these and they are beautiful.

Anna,I enjoy reading your blog and enjoy your beautiful pictures. You've inspired me to spend more time in my garden this summer, and take pictures of it's progress.
Thanks for offering your calendar as a gift to your faithful readers.

You know me Anna, anything with those adorable chickens, or cows, or roosters (see I've been studying !HA!) I'd love to have. But did I tell you, I have two babies of my own .... a Robin came and built a nest right in the middle of my hanging flower basket. [It hangs outside our front door.] Two days later, two blue eggs were layed ....approx. seven days later two baby Robins were hatched. They are now five days old and growing at an astonishing rate and SOooooo cute. I'll attempt to get a pic of them for you, since you always supply me with my Betty *fix* when I need one :)))
Thanks for the great chance to win !!!
xxooxx
