Kelley, your contribution rang a bell with me!!! I tried long and hard to get "used" to a dog. Never having been a "dog person", now, years later, I am still more scared of that animal than I am of any imagined or real intruder! The geese idea is great! And your parabel of the sheep and shepherd gave me much to think!

Coming in way late to this topic -- I recently ordered "Country Women..." from Amazon.com (VERY used copy)and it came yesterday - I've been reading it, and it's really inspirational - and practical, if a little dated. I was really intrigued by the chainsaw part of it - we go through quite a bit of wood around here during the winters, and my husband has full wood-duty except for some splitting now and then, but he recently hurt his back, and this just might give me the confidence to fire up that big ol' orange monster. It seems to contrary to that lovely country quiet life that I like, but it really is an integral part of the WARM, lovely, country life! Anyway, I just wanted to say that there were several other used copies out there on Amazon.com, and I am finding it really worthwhile and a good read.
XOXO, Libbie
