Found One! [Contest Finalists January 2011]

Finalist
On a short trip to Missouri this summer, I spotted a farm with a great old barn, antique tractors, a chicken coop and cows in a pasture across the road -- had to stop. While David and I were chatting with the owners, their grandson came running up, proudly waving the egg he had just gathered. Wish every kid had a place like this to visit or grow up on!
