pickA very broad overview that covers just about everything on a small farm. There is some excellent information contained in this book. There is some that is definitely outdated. Having it on the shelf as a reference won't wasted space.

so-soFaina, a surprise arrival in the snow, didn‘t capture my attention like she did her adopters (and perhaps creators) Jack and Mabel. Faina‘s mere presence, a kind of miracle in their lonely lives, is the event but the somewhat blank girl doesn‘t do much beyond showing up and—as we humans often can‘t resist—leaving. Most of the characters in the book take a hike, to discover who they are and can be.
pickI enjoyed this book about folks surviving, hiding, and subsisting in the San Luis valley. Lots of interesting, sometimes tragic, sometimes awful, and sometimes funny stories.
pickI fell in love with this novel. It was a beautiful story of love, grief, adventure, family and joy. Set in the harsh conditions of Alaska, the descriptions of the seasons the wilds of mountains, rivers, and farming in the early 1920s were remarkably wonderful. The main characters Jack & Mabel, Faina, George, Esther and Garrett are perfect for this tale. The book was hard to put down. 5🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟
Current audiobook…Can‘t decide if the narrator‘s voice is boring me or not…

I have some catch up to do. I always think of this book when thinking about a #LongTitle
The Feast Nearby: How I lost my job, buried a marriage, and found my way by keeping chickens, foraging, preserving, bartering, and eating locally.
A woman in my foodie book club refused to read this one because she found the title “too ridiculously long.” 😂
