Just finished reading this book, and I really enjoyed it. I know so little about how farming works these days, more familiar with stories of farming in the early days of our century. It's an interesting read. I only wish it had some recipes (but that's another type of book).

I picked this up at Vroman's, a independent bookstore in Pasadena, when I went to join my sister Susan for a night (she was at a conference). We had dinner at a local place, then walked to Vroman's, each of us picking out some reading material and a chocolate bar. We strolled home, and talked the evening away while watching the opening ceremonies and eating our chocolate. I headed home in the morning; she went back to her conference.
