Schedule Review of “Farewell, My Subaru”

My partner loves gardening and also has fantasies concerning owning a big plot of land as well as being a farmer. He drives me nuts, asking if he can keep worms on our 2nd flooring apartment or condo terrace in La Jolla. My solution is no!

In the meantime, he obtains his little square box in the church community garden. I’m not a nature lady but did find a book title that caught my eye in the collection. It was “Farewell, My Subaru”, created by Doug Penalty. It caught my interest since that’s the brand of car I drive. The cover picture was adorable, with a yard expanding under the hood of the vehicle.

Doug was previously a journalist that acquired a parcel as a bachelor with the purpose of settling down and also going green all the way.

This publication was an entertaining, light-hearted read. His adventures started with automobile problem, a flash flood, buying 2 goats as well as some chicks. The goats got into mischief but he grew connected to them. He needed to convince the examiner that his home was a farm. He moved on to trying vegetable oil gas, setting up solar panels and a well, hunting and gardening.

Similar to many town stories, there were local personalities, including his hippie neighbor. Naturally, they saw him as the character. He scared off the FedEx shipment man by wearing home-made body armor to eliminate off a rattlesnake. The locals got a few chuckles from this newbie as they watched him adjust to his new life. He had to request for help and learned by trial and error. He eventually figured things out and even discovered love along the way.

Doug likes his new life and composed this captivating publication regarding his journeys. He consisted of interesting realities along the road with some stats. I still have no passion in farming however I’m sure if we relocated to a town, I would certainly find myself adjusting with time. At first, I ‘d most likely appear like the woman from “Green Acres”.

Somehow, in centuries past, individuals made it through without mobile phone, computer systems as well as telephones. They lived off the land and were efficient with their hands. They in fact talked with each other verbally and also composed letters.

For yard fanatics, this is a fun read. There were a few swear words and grown-up motifs in it so I wouldn’t provide it to youngsters yet maybe an enjoyable gift to offer.
