Hit by a Farm by Catherine Friend

Subtitle: How I Learned to Stop Worrying and Love the Barn -- An interesting account of starting a farm with nothing and not knowing much about it.  It was all very much a learning process for her and her partner Melissa.  They bought some land, got sheep and goats, chickens and a couple llamas.  They also started a vineyard.  Many times they were in over their heads.  Lambing season was very hard, getting the vineyards started was a challenge.  They were able to work through most things, though there were times that Catherine was ready to quit and leave.  In the end Catherine did need to separate herself a bit, to be able to do what she wanted, which was to write.  She ended up finding a good balance and things worked out.  There are many laugh out loud times and times that you just have to shake your head.  It was an enjoyable read, at times a little melodramatic, but fun.
