My grandfather farmed with horses on a farm near Brighton Mich, near School Lake to be more specific. Some points on the farm. 1. Everyone in the family came out every Sunday for dinner. My mother was from a large family, so lots of food needed to be prepared for the dinner. My mother came out and helped my grandmother cook, it was a wood stove. Baking powered biscuits and pies were always made. 2. Growing corn with horses grew better corn. The horses learned not to step on the growing corn, so my grandfather could till the soil around the growing corn much later than with a tractor, so the corn was healthier. My grandfathers corn was always sold as seed corn for a better price. 3. Farming was hard and always had setbacks. Lightning struck my grandfathers barn and it burned down. He got the horses out, but my mother said he was never the same afterwards, I guess he gave up and finally died, he was at the end of his life when this happened.
I, too, have read your books. Just love, as a reader, where you take us! I know its hard work, but I can’t wait to to read the whole story. Best of luck!
Wonderful! I'm ready for more!
