Unbuttoned - Our Farming Life in Southeastern Ontario

We all have childhood dreams in life. Grace wanted to be a writer. Her partner, who she refers to as My Hero, had another dream. Unbeknownst to her his dream was to own and run his own farm. As it often happens, love had her plunge into his dream. Opportunity knocked and they jumped in with both feet and blinders on. Farming is the most frustrating and rewarding experience a person can do. Eventually, after never ending unpredictable highs and lows, mixed with lots of tears tightly woven with laughter, Grace did what she needed to do to get through. She started writing short stories on a blog named Buttons Thoughts. Sharing them with others with her quirky sense of humour became her coping mechanism. The simple things in her life became hugely important. She gravitated to writing with a mix of whimsy in very real situations. The pain and frustration finally overtaken by the brighter sides of once crippling events. She embraced the beauty of every season. Nature became her best friend. That was her saving grace. Those stories have been shared over and over, believing that people should not hide their fears or their joys. This book is a compilation of some of those stories. Their dreams happened to come true with hard work and the love and support of each other. What could be better than that?
