5 comments about Duck Soup Vignettes of Country Life.

1. Congratulations Inge on a wonderful collection of stories from life on the farm! I too have had a life in the country and can relate to your experiences. I too raised ducks and chickens, but as a child. Your heartwarming stories are obviously from the heart. I particularly liked the 'Window Box' and the
   'Secret Garden'. My husband has just started reading the book and is also enamoured with it.Jeanette Lehmann.



2. I really enjoyed reading this book. It is a collection of many enchanting short stories that are full of love, joy and humor. I like the variety of subjects the author wrote from the joys of country life to the encounters with nature and animals. The stories are filled with feeling and personal experiences. I find the stories so real and very easy to relate to. They are uplifting and encouraging. For those who have children or pets, this is a must read book. Annie



3. Your book was great, the stories are so full of love and heart. I can't wait for the next book.



4. A charming book. Simple tales of country life full of warmth, wit and wisdom. Good to read, and good to read again. What's it about? Life. Told in a straightforward narrative style that's deceptively simple. It seems as if this writer has lived a lot. The stories aren't long. The simplicity belies the keenness of her observations and the integrity of her opinions. Deeply felt and moving. I especially enjoyed reading one in the evening before sleep. It was like visiting an old friend.



5. This book contains stories on a large variety of experiences with animals, children and family activities. It brings into focus the simple pleasures derived from country living while reaching into the twentyfirst century. Much like the desire people express in wanting to sit on the front porch of a Victorian house, these stories show us that by simply opening our eyes and taking the road less traveled, we can remove ourselves from the stresses of modern life and nourish our souls by opening our hearts to nature, without having to escape to a different time. Wonderful stories shared by an obviously sensitive person who is very much in touch with her feelings and knows how to express them well.

1. Move over Ceasar, Dr. Monica should have her own program! Her sound and practical advice has helped me and my pets for years. I have read everything she has published and have been astounded at the success that I have had raising my little ones. I can't wait until the next book comes out!



2. In "Pets Have Feelings Too!" long-time animal communicator Monica Diedrich follows up her previous award-winning title with an in-depth but highly readable look at how our fellow creatures interact with us on physical, emotional, and spiritual levels. Diedrich covers the usual territory of basic aspects of communication (the how-to's, behavioral problems, lost pets) but really shines when discussing how our deep connections to the animals in our lives can lead to profound physical, emotional, and spiritual healing for humans and animals alike. In addition, her theory of energy imprinting carries after-death experiences and a beloved animal's return into newly explored pathways. Warm, engaging, and written from the heart, Diedrich's new book is a very welcome contribution to the field.

5 comments about Pigs and Other Stories.

1. Jeanie's book is helpful to those who want to know what to do if they are thinking of raising pigs. She tells you how and what they have learned, through trial & error of raising their pigs. What works for them, how to build the pig house, fences, etc. That along with her humerous stories of just simply living on a farm and the experiences you tend to have, makes the book fun. It isn't just a book about pigs, it's a book about living a farm type life. Jeanie's personality, character and wit, come through in her writing.



2. I really like the stories about all that can and will happen on a farm. You can not predict from day to day what adventures are coming your way. Good book.



3. This is a Great book and is very well written for a starting author. It has many funny and informitive stories. Good book and a great addition to any farm library.



4. This is a great book. The stories in it are very enjoyable and I found it entertaining as well. The pictures help bring the storys to life for you to be a part of this wonderful family. The information about the farm life was interesting even though I am not a farmer. I recommend this book to people that just want a nice enjoyable book to read..NO sex or murder in this one. Yahhhh!!



5. LOVED THIS BOOK, I TOO AM A BEGINING FARMER AND CAN RELATE TO ALL HER EXSPERIENCES. A WHOLESOME DOWN TO EARTH BOOK, LOOK FORWARD TO HER NEXT BOOK TO LEARN ALONG WITH HER AND HER FAMILY.
   US CITY FOLKS NEED ALL THE HELP WE CAN GET WHEN WE TRY TO MOVE TO THE COUNTRY AND START A FARM.
