Ferd, A Farm Favourite
I have learned the hard way that writing about a favourite animal can be dangerous, even fatal. Any attempt to preserve the image of a furry friend for posterity always ends in tears.

The countryside offers nothing but roads with forks in them these days. There are giant billboards at every crossroads ordering you which fork to take.
How you Gonna Keep Them Down on the Farm?
It’s a question as old as the farm itself. How do you keep a child from souring on chores and the drudgery of tasks like haying and weeding?

Getting into the Grind
There’s nothing like a snowblower to find stuff that’s been missing since last summer. The first pass every season can be hair-raising.
