Description The Authors Reviews Reader Reviews TOC

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 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.

Michael Perry is a Wisconsin-based author who wrote Population 485: Meeting Your Neighbor One Siren at a Time.

Roger Welsch is a well-known rural scholar whose latest book is about how to keep your sanity while living in the country.

Jerrp Apps is a professor emeritus of agriculture at the University of Wisconsin-Madison and writes about growing up on a farm.

Ben Logan also writes about his childhood on a farm in the driftless area of Wisconsin.
