Customer Reviews

We walk with Lois Barton through her beloved farmland.

We look out her window with Lois Barton and walk with her through her beloved farmland. In these short pieces of prose and poetry, and in small drawings and photos, we see with Lois' eyes and listen with her ears. We feel with her heart. We are with her as she walks her cows to the barn and looks into their eyes. We smile at memories of her children's escapades. We delight with her when birds return in spring. We learn with her from the gnarled branches of a cedar tree to value in another person what had seemed to be a burden. We mourn losses. Lois Barton has generously shared with us, in direct and simple words, the richness of her eighty years. The winsdom of these gems shines lght on forgotten facets of our own rich life, past and present. Jane G. Novick

Colorful images of country living

"Country Life, seen through Lois Barton's window, is rich in colorful images of living and love, rainbows and dandelions, crocuses, cows and towering fir trees. These poems and short essays are tales well-told of a country life well-lived. I greatly enjoyed reading them." Mike Helm, teacher and author of TRACKING DOWN COYOTE
