Of course there are many books about this sort of change, but I really like that this couple faced the same sort of challenges that exist today (and many that do not, it must be said). They aim to "live sanely and simply in a troubled world".
They left NY during the Great Depression and "decided we could live a saner, quieter, more worthwhile life in the country".
We had the first truly warm and sunny day here in the Mount Beauty since the onset of Winter and as I spent my day in our sunshiny garden I thought about this book and how it's simple yet powerful message underlines what we're working on here as a family.
I was living the good life today...is fact so much that this post almost didn't get written in favour of moving strawberry plants, planting seeds, thinning seedlings and playing with children.
*sigh*
