From the awakening of the land in the spring to the fireside
planning on a chilly winter night, life on a farm revolves around the
seasons of the year. The rural music of this seasonal rhythm sounds
through the pages of this volume. Writers offer memories of farm life
in North America and reflections on its seasonal unfolding, from spring planting through
hay baling to harvest suppers in a two-room country schoolhouse.
Some funny, some poignant, these evocative essays are illustrated with
black-and-white historical photographs and crisp color images that
conjure the life of a farm for readers who have known that world
intimately, or have only dreamed of it. Format: Hardcover Pages: 160
