A Country Year: Living the Questions
reviewed on + 4 more book reviews


A wonderful summer read. If I hadn't moved to the country already I'd be packing. This author has captured the heart of country living. Sharing her personal experience as she watched the seasons change, the many hardships she experienced and overcame. The numerous joys she experienced by watching the daily antics of wildlife and interacting with neighbors suited her life-style. Acquiring new skills to replace a pump-house, remodel her barn and cabin made me cheer for her. I enjoyed the little known facts about raising bees and harvesting their honey. By including her experience of marketing in a competitive world she reminded me of the fast-paced world she had left behind. Takes one back to our roots of self-sufficiency. Excellent read.
