Posted - Jan 03 2012 : 6:10:58 PM Got a "Nook" tablet for Christmas- yay! Just downloaded and started to read the book "BarnHeart: The Incurable Longing for a Farm of Ones Own" by Jenna Woginrich- she is the author of the book "Made from Scratch- Discovering the Pleasures of a Handmade Life" which was an excellent book. I really enjoy her writing- something a farmgirl can certainly relate to. Will let you know how the book is- I'm only about 20 pages into it but so far it is REALLY good! Thought I would pass this along. Smiles,

I love her blog. I have learned so much from her. She inspired me to get sheep again.

Posted - Jan 04 2012 : 10:20:56 AM I bought the book before Christmas and loved it. I'm hoping to get "Made From Scratch" soon. I totally understood her longing to get her own farm and envied her when she did.
