Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from In Winter Quarters: From Dumbiedykes to Town and Back Again
In this latitude as you stroll along the edge of a wood on a dull November day, and you will be told that gray skies and cold dark nights are not half so bad as they are sometimes painted, if you understand what they really mean. They know that those old leaves have to come down to make way for next year's crop. They know that the rain that so bedraggled the landscape last week was needed by the fall-sown grain and was delivered in the laboratories of the fields and forests.
