Such objects of our vanishing rural past are today's reminders of our country ways and country days: early home life in the country, work on the farm, how rural people kept in touch, the importance of community, and how farm folks relaxed and had fun. InCountry Ways and Country Days,you'll go back in time and learn a bit about each item's special role and its importance in country life. Noted storyteller Jerry Apps presents short essays on farming life and memories, drawn from his own experiences growing up on a small farm.

Apps's reminiscences about the things that kept life humming on the farm and enriched the rural experience will leave you stalgic for a time when working the land was its own reward.
