Blooms & dreams : cultivating wellness, generosity & a connection to the land / by Gillingham, Misha,author.;
"One woman's life-changing decision to rebuild a life centered on wellness, generosity, and a connection to the land. Misha Gillingham is a travel writer-turned-farm-girl whose story has won over the hearts of fans worldwide. In Blooms & Dreams, Misha shares the wisdom she has gleaned over the years as she and her family put down roots on Evergreen Acres in the Pacific Northwest. The book shares the story of why she and her family chose the hobby-farm lifestyle; how they got started; the lay of the land (stroll the garden, the pastures, the bocce ball court); the flowers they grow in abundance; the animals and their barns (goats, sheep, alpacas, dogs, and chickens!); the joy of contributing their bounty to the local community; and, lastly, what this transformative lifestyle has meant to Misha as she reflects on one of the most rewarding experiences of her life"--

True confessions from the ninth concession / by Needles, Dan,author.;
"In 1988, Needles and his wife left the city to start a family in a country community located two hours north of Toronto. Together they stocked their farm with sheep, cattle, chickens, pigs and, eventually, four children. Needles' charming chronicle unfolds in essays dated from 1997 to 2016, offering homespun advice for successful country living--like whether to wave from the elbow or to merely raise one finger from the steering wheel when passing a neighbour in the car. He cautions on rural superstitions, such as when his neighbour hesitated before selling him weaner pigs because every time he does the wife of the farmer who's buying them becomes pregnant--which turned out to be true. Here too is the tale of an unlikely friendship between a "borderline" collie ("he's never bitten anything in his life and the sheep are catching on") and an odd duck named Ferdinand, as well as other hilarious stories involving an assortment of farm animals, including the weapon of choice to properly dispatch a rooster-gone-bad; the risks of giving a name to a potential Sunday dinner entrée; and how to outsmart a free-range pig. With his witty insight, Needles shares the art of neighbouring in the country--a place made for visits, and "where a figure walking across your field is more of a reason to put the kettle on than to call the police." True Confessions from the Ninth Concession is a sesquicentennial crop of antics and aphorisms by Canada's funniest farmer--one that presents a wonderful escape for world-weary city dwellers, and affirmative reading for anyone who is from, or has moved to, rural Canada."--
