Book Reviews Galore!
Today, our dear friend Karen has her first book review over at Our Hen House. She reviewed What the Animals Taught Me: Stories of Love and Healing from a Farm Animal Sanctuary by Stephanie Marohn.

Celebrating Summer Solstice
Summer solstice was yesterday, as I’m sure most of you know. The summer solstice technically is the first day of summer, though historically it has been called midsummer by farmers since the crops are planted and well on their way to producing.
