Country School, Fishing and a Dog; : The Seasons of Life on A Family Farm As I Recollect J.D. Schere

Wearing a suit, spending more time behind a desk than he ever intended, life is brought back into perspective by the memories of growing up on a Midwestern family farm. The adventures of a boy and his dog Yogi discovering life on the family's small farm will give your soul reason for feeling the same joys and fears as those experienced by the two explorers as they met life head on in an era when people didn't lock their houses. This Midwestern families farm didn't just raise cows, chickens and pigs, it raised adventure and mischief in the form of a boy and his dog, adventure supplemented by the one room country school, the fields and the river that flowed near the families 180 acres of life. The important role that each family member played on the farm adds to this adventure as the boy recalls the sage wisdom of adults as well as that which can only come from a relationship between brothers and sisters. Annual trips to the state fair, vacations to neighboring states, and fishing trips with dad will generate in you the warmth of a family farm in times far different than those we live in today.
