Gardening and stocking up is an ingrained habit from a lifetime of preserving food for her family. I will certainly post stories like this as I find them. But I suspect they are few and far between.<BR/><BR/>I had big plans for my Old Farm Almanacs blog but just haven't had the time to keep it up. One of these days I will either get some more posts there or compile a selection of excerpts from the 1800's farm almanacs into a book.<BR/><BR/>I'm pleased to know that you liked my Deliberate Agrarian book. It makes a fine gift.<BR/><BR/>Best wishes.Herrick Kimballhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17116051416696885647noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13729569.post-89877474930943591362008-11-23T20:32:00.000-05:002008-11-23T20:32:00.000-05:00Wow, it's amazing that Ida and her husband are sti...Wow, it's amazing that Ida and her husband are still going strong, but then they've been so active all their lives. It seems that this woman is an agrarian, extraordinaire! Thank you for sharing this with us. I love to find information about how people lived in the "old days"! That's why I enjoy reading your Old Farm Almanacs. If you come across any other stories like this, please pass them on.<BR/><BR/>P.S. I really loved reading your book, Writings of a Deliberate Agrarian. It was so inspirational, and at times I was moved to tears. I just mailed a copy to my son in Victoria, British Columbia. I'll be giving my stepson his copy when he comes from Alberta to visit in December. Thanks, again!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
