- Synopsis
- A collection of over 130 short meditations, once published in her local newspaper, by a farm wife of the mid twentieth century. Though many describe the kinds of rotating work and rest on a potato farm in northern Ohio, many more treat subjects like the experiences at an amusement park, dandelions, the delights on and off super highways, the ways of spending time on unexpected snow days, the ups and downs of skiing, and the hurt an old person feels when leaving home for the last time. You'll discover the often less talked about gifts of beauty in nature on a farm, the concerns and deep love of raising children, the keeping of old traditions and making of new ones. Here is a fond, heartfelt description of rural life in the Midwest told in short bursts so the tour never becomes tiresome.
