review 1: I am so delighted with this book! Finally Jenna has come out with something like a sequel to Made From Scratch. Her other books are great resources and lovely contemplations, but this collection of witty and perceptive essays is what I have been waiting for. As a longtime blog reader and fan of Cold Antler, I was familiar with the bones of her story, but I appreciate deeply the more fleshed-out work. The punk chicks/art school made me laugh out loud, and shearing/church essay might be my favorite, but the whole collection is moving and solid work.
review 2: What a delight!!! Ms. Jenna totally fascinated me with her story of how she decided to buy a farm, and my hair is still standing on end from the story of the event in her life that brought her to that decis
... moreion. Fortunately she is very young and healthy and is able to keep up the pace. She has reminded me of the many things I have to be thankful for and I admire the animals and friendships that sharing the fruits of her labor and love have brought her. Ms. Jenna claims that she is not a Christian, but she was raised a Catholic and it seems to me that her values have risen from how she was raised and she has been truly blessed. I opened a book as I finished this, prayers for a woman's life. One of the verses read, "You care for the land and water it... You crown the year with your bounty, and your carts overflow with abundance..... The meadows are covered with flocks and the valleys are mantled with grain; they shout for joy and sing. Psalm 65:9-13" You live and breathe this verse, Jenna, thank you for sharing it so eloquently in your book. less
