I would like a book on what you do during the spring, summer, autumn, and winter on your farm. What you do to prepare for the next season. What you have grown, cultivated, and make during theese seasons.

We really try & live our lives according to the seasons and not the school district (we homeschool) nor others.

It is a beautiful rhythm of the seasons and life.

I think we are going to have to clone Mary Jane! We outnumber her in ideas but there is only one of her and a small group of loyal employees and friends from what I understand. It IS a great idea and I love books like that so hopefully there will be one someday....she'll never run out of ideas and inspiration with you gals around! You've got my vote! And also whatever I can do to help out.

I read where someone suggested workbooks for chapters in your books - I think this is an absolutely fabulous idea. It would help people like me who are just a little unsure just where to start and ideas on what we do to expand. I know this would be a lot of work, but I'm sure there are lots of us out here who would benefit. Besides...your words of wisdom are so helpful and comforting.
