How to Shovel Manure and Other Life Lessons for the Country Woman - Gwen Petersen

Join Gwen Petersen for a lighthearted look at the hard life of a country woman. A much-loved cowgirl scribe in rare form, Petersen eases us through the rigors of country living, from raising chickens to shoveling manure to cooking Rocky Mountain oysters. You’d think midwifing a calf was no laughing matter--until Gwen steps in with her expert advice. She has wise counsel for sharing the yard with a gaggle of ill-tempered geese; step-by-step instructions for harvesting pig manure; and sound advice for staying cool through haying season and the chaos of the farmhouse Christmas. For good measure, the book includes poems and recipes that will transport you to a country state of mind.
