Mud Season: How One Woman's Dream of Moving to Vermont, Raising Children, Chickens and Sheep, and Running the Old Country Store Pretty Much Led to One Calamity After Another

Living the dream of the endless vacation
In self-deprecating and hilarious fashion, Mud Season chronicles Stimsonâ€™s transition from city living to rickety Vermont farmhouse. When she decides she wants to own and operate the old-fashioned village store in idyllic Dorset, pop. 2,036, one of the oldest continually operating country stores in the country, she learns the hard way that â€œimprovementsâ€ are not always welcomed warmly by folks who like things just fine the way theyâ€™d always been. She dreams of patrons streaming in for fresh-made sandwiches and an old-timey candy counter, but she learns theyâ€™re boycotting the store. Why? â€œThe bread,â€ they tell her, â€œyou moved the bread from where it used to be.â€ Can the citified newcomer turn the tide of mistrust before she ruins the business altogether? Follow the author to her witâ€™s end and back, through her full immersion into rural lifeâ€•swapping high heels for muck boots; raising chickens and sheep; fighting off skunks, foxes, and bears; and making a few friends and allies in a tiny town steeped in history, local tradition, and that dyed-in-the-wool Vermont â€œcharacter.â€
