Life is good on East Parish Farm. My husband John and Itogether with our children Virginia (14), Katherine (12) and Josiah (11)share our modest acreage with 16 critters. For all the hard work we have lots of laughs and many great stories. Recent chapters include See the Hawk- 25 Cents, The Immaculate Lactation and Donkey Driving 101. Until we figure out a way to monetize the fun, I am maintaining my day job with Wellington Management in Boston.
