Pictured above is Kurt Steiner, who, according to Wikipedia, is widely regarded as the greatest American stone skipper. Steiner was in Kentucky this weekend to compete in the Pro Division of the second annual Kentucky Stone Skipping Invitational.

The Invitational is the brainchild of professional skipper Jon Jennings of Graefenburg, KY, who said on social media that he developed it as a way to showcase his love of stone skipping and the outdoors.

Sunset after harvest

Veronica writes, "Many farmers rushed and worked tirelessly, some even into the night, to get a hay harvest. This has been a wet start to the season, pushing back the ability for farmers to cut hay, and delayed planting because the fields are too wet.

This past week we had a run of dry days and it seems that everyone everywhere was cutting their hay and seeding their fields. This is the sunset from my field after we finally brought in the last of the hay from that field. It was a peaceful sunset before the rains to come."
