Barn Owl Books. Softcover. Very Good. 92x8x140. The Book is in Very Good+ condition. South Dakota is a land where the only rule is "you can never tell what a bobtail cow will do."

Snow storms at the end of April can decimate a vegetable garden. In the summer, you can spend fourteen hours a day haying and the rest of the time watching for fires.

With a poet's touch,… Read More
