A farmwife for 45 years, Rachel Peden believed that the family farm'sbest crop is a "harvest of the spirit." In Speak to the Earth, she looks at life --domestic and wild, human and critter -- through the eyes of someone who witnessesnine seasons of the year rather than the typical four. Peden views the farm as "aplace of opportunity simultaneous with obligation, an immaculate fitting-together ofplant and animal life." Each year yields an abundance of small, pricelessobservations. Through her writings, Peden encourages readers to appreciate both thesimple pleasures in life as well as the more profound qualities embodied in familyand neighbors, mallards and ladybugs, possums and pigs, and the irresistiblecharacteristics of old houses, local history, and changing times.
