Summer brings hydrangeas, dahlias, readying the chickens for the Dutchess County Fair, and a garden cocktail party. Fall focuses on collecting, cider making, an orchard luncheon and a Thanksgiving table, honey-gathering, and planting bulbs. Winter closes the book with holiday decorating, gilding allium, a holiday buffet, and homemade gifts. Filled with tips on creating beautiful seasonal flower arrangements, living with animals, and garden planning, this is a wonderful resource and gift for anyone longing for farmstead living.

Download or read book Transcendental Utopias written by Richard Francis and published by Cornell University Press. This book was released on 2007 with total page 280 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: New England Transcendentalism was a vibrant and many-sided movement whose members are probably best remembered for their utopian experiments, their attempts to reconcile the contingent world of history with what they perceived as the stable and patterned world of nature. Richard Francis has written the first book to explore in detail the ideological basis of the three famous experiments during the 1840s: Brook Farm, Fruitlands, and Henry David Thoreau's "community of one" on the shores of Walden Pond.Francis suggests that at the heart of Transcendentalism was a belief that all phenomena are connected in a repetitive sequence. The task was to explain how human society could be reordered to benefit from this seriality. Some members of the movement believed in evolutionary progress, whereas others hoped to be the agents of a sudden millennial transformation. They differed, as well, in their views as to whether the fundamental social unit was the individual, the family, the phalanstery, or the community. The story of the three communities was, inevitably, also the story of particular individuals, and Francis highlights the lives and ideas of such leaders as George Ripley, W. H. Channing, Bronson Alcott, Charles Lane, and Theodore Parker. The consistent underlying beliefs of the New England Transcendentalists have exerted a powerful influence on American intellectual and cultural history ever since.

Book excerpt: After twenty-five years of relative peace on the Brook between Squidgy and the Little People, a ferret named Jacko escapes from Gibbins Brook Farm, putting the Little People on high alert! Then, when Stumpy and the Shadow Book suddenly go missing, the Little People know the wizard has found them. Seven of the tiny folk, only half a thumb high, have been hiding from the wicked Wizard of Wozzle ever since he invaded their homeland a thousand years ago. Before they fled Gyminge, the high seer, Dayko, predicted the Little People would one day return and defeat the wizard with the help of a child, but without the Shadow Book, the Little People can't summon the Shadow children who've helped them in the past. As the recent events unfold, the Little People seek Gumpa and gran'ma's help in finding real children willing to take up the cause of Truth and fight the wizard. Will Stormy, Specs, Ginger, and Bajjer even believe in the Little People, let alone help them? Will this band of Little People be able to rescue Stumpy and the Shadow Book before the wizard initiates an all-out attack? Join Gumpa and the Little People in Gibbins Brook Farm, the third installment of The Twith Logue Chronicles. Discover how the evil plans of the wicked Wizard of Wozzle are once again brought to naught.
