“Mowing the lawn is just one of the chores farm wife Edith Grady handles. Most of the day hers is the typical farm wife’s fare…,” reads the collage on the cover. This book is equably parody and nostalgia. I can still smell the fresh cut grass, pulsing out of the mower in bales, because sometimes, the weather turns so strongly humid, all grass is doubly germinated. Besides, who knows much about farm wife’s fares anymore?
