| This warm, amusing, and deeply human story of retirement on a farm is told in a series of lively episodes which catch the flavour and excitement of a new start in life. Of course, Jim Morrison was well-rooted in rural New Brunswick. During the Depression years, he lived on his grandfather's farm where he grew to love farm life. He returned to New Brunswick's Carleton County many years later: finding the land, finding the house, learning to cope with bees, chickens, goats and alders — all the while discovering that the plumbing, the carpentry, and the greenhouse refused to cooperate. 45 Acres of Fun &; Tears is above all a tale of fun and zest for living, showing how retirement on the St. John River, which can be pesky too, has been full to the brim and overflowing. |
