Produktbeschreibung

Old photographs and mirthful text tell the uniquely stirring story of two hearty, Nature-Loving souls who, in 1979, broke with their mainstream lifestyles and bought a rugged piece of property in the forested hills of West Virginia. First there was a need for an outhouse! Then, since the original farmhouse was in charred, rotting ruins, they turned their focus upon the remains of a stone root cellar that had been built into an earthen hillside. In a race against time, through the late summer and fall, these greenhorn lumberjack-carpenters survived on a shoestring with peanut butter & jelly sandwiches. And Lo and Behold, the dilapidated root cellar, became a sweet little "stone cottage."

They lived there for six years without electricity or running water. Then went on to build a second more conventional home and raise a family. This is a true story with authentic photos, created for the author's grandmother. She is sharing it with the world in the hopes it will inspire similar dreams, ambitions, adventures. The author believes that human destiny is inexorably linked to this particular planet called "Ela" by the Cherokee. We are transitioning now and having many birth pangs as we awaken here to our true Loving selves. Discovering our connection with the Mother, Earth, is a critical step humans must take in order to fully become sovereign citizens of the cosmos. And whatever the reader's goals and vision may be, Homespun: A Return to the Land, the author desires to inspire all readers to follow their dreams! This Original Hand Drawn and Photograph Picture Book was originally written for the Author's Grandmother.

Autorenporträt

Elizabeth Richie aka "Spring Frog" I grew up running free, playing in the lush forests, cornfields and meadows of the Susquehanna River Valley of central Pennsylvania. One of my favorite haunts was "The Swamp" where catching (and releasing) frogs, climbing trees and building forts with the neighborhood "gang" was often the order of the day. My elementary school was within walking distance and each day when I passed my grandfather's house on the way to school, I waved to him as he stood waiting in his living room window. It was America at its best. Much of my "formative" years was spent in the "Great Outdoors" -long cold winters with deep snows, igloos, shoveling and ice skating-long warm summers with lazy days at "the pool" -Girl Scout Camps on the Loyalsock Creek talking philosophy with the other girls and jolly counselors-competitive swimming, summer and winter, indoors and out; softball, field hockey-family visits to the Smokey Mountains of North Carolina to visit cousins-vacations at the beach. As I grew older, I loved to walk my part Samoyed dog out by the small airport and sing my lungs out.
