I read this book rather quickly while working at a library booksale. It was one of the books that was being sold. The author basically included glimpses into a year in her life in rural Vermont. She had moved there about 35 years earlier from New York. It praises rural living. Some of the entries were rather disjointed and sketchy. Others were more comprehensive and better written entries. The writing was uneven. The book would have a rather minimal level of interest for those unfamiliar with the author. ( )
