We got to work very early on this issue so that we could take care of some stuff around the farm.\u00a0 As we worried about filling it up, it grew and grew until we had more pages than we normally do – and they’re all great!\u00a0 This issue finishes 23 years of publishing, and there have been a very few issues that almost magically publish themselves.\u00a0 It happens when we are stretched too thin due to circumstances beyond our control (AKA life) and are considering surrendering and being late. Miraculously, it comes together and *POOF* we slide in under the wire.\u00a0 In fact, just as I was starting to stress over a cover, Carolina appeared with this stunner!\u00a0 Once again, we are reminded just how wonderful our contributors are, and how they make the magazine what it is.\u00a0 Thanks, everyone!\u00a0 We are so grateful.<\/p>\n
