Her writing shaped so much of my childhood imagination, and even now as I survey our fields from our old log home, I find myself daydreaming about Laura's experiences. She brought a whole bygone era to life. Powerful. And you got to go to her home!!!!W-S Wanderingshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06242784517253760863noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8434499602695302521.post-49317006021645029252012-03-13T06:24:02.937-07:002012-03-13T06:24:02.937-07:00I am so glad I read your post.

Last summer, even though it was 1 1/2 hours off the beaten path, I convinced my husband to drive to the Little House in the Big Woods. I loved their quaint museum and the replica cabin. Just thinking, they were really here a long time ago. I understand you wanting to absorb it all. Sometime we will make our way to Mansfield to see Rocky Ridge Farm also.

It was a very magical place. I teared up and could not speak when we were in the living room with her little library off of it. All that I could think of was that she sat in that chair (with the pillows Almanzo made for her) and read and wrote. I would have love to see what titles were on her bookshelves. I would love to go back and take even more time just looking and walking around.Rachaelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14592447359554396217noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8434499602695302521.post-75736000518471358462012-02-17T18:27:29.325-08:002012-02-17T18:27:29.325-08:00Hi from Austin!

The garden shop in town is owned by a woman who has become a great resource and a great friend, for all my gardening questions and curiosities. She saves seeds for me...the latest being moon flowers..and at my last visit, she asked if I knew of you. Then, I see your name and books mentioned on Susan branch's blog, so I looked up some of your work. Three of your books came today...I had them overnighted;) Now I am chomping at the bit for Spring!! Our grandson, who turns 5 this coming week, is my little helper in the garden...he even has his own little wheelbarrow:) I love your sweet books...one more is on it's way... And I just had to let you know I love the photos of Laura's home! I was called Laura Ingalls in jr. High because of my long hair, in braids of course, and my calico smocked dresses. I loved all her books and then the tv show. So,I will be a frequent guest, now, dear, new friend. My brother must meet you as well...he started the edible classroom at his daughters school in FL and they won a statewide contest last year, sending him to CA to meet and train with the guru herself! We were so proud...he'll love that I have your books and am now motivated to grow vegetables, at last:)<br />Warmly,<br />ChristieChristie Jones Rayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09673858402457921172noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8434499602695302521.post-48449386651817211012012-02-14T06:25:29.400-08:002012-02-14T06:25:29.400-08:00Thanks for sharing.

Thank you for this beautiful post as I would love, love, love to see this home in person! When my own daughter was young, I 'heartily encouraged' her to write her 'women who changed America' report on Laura. Even though my Emily was only in the 4th grade, we brought home tons of books on Laura's life and had such fun doing the research. Well, to be honest I probably had the most fun. ;)rebecca sweethttp://www.gossipinthegarden.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8434499602695302521.post-8912013556385301802012-02-12T08:45:20.059-08:002012-02-12T08:45:20.059-08:00Oh my- I forget your beautiful bird illustrations-...Oh my- I forget your beautiful bird illustrations-/ they are so beautiful-- I can hardly wait to see the book when it is finished.

And my mother read Farmer Boy to her 5th graders just about every one of the 20 years that she taught school. Even the boys back then loved listening. But I never knew that Laura was only 5 feet tall. What a great tidbit of information!Joan S.

She still loves birds and is now trying to distinguish their calls.<br />Laura I. Wilder is one of my favorites too. I am thrilled to see pics of her homestead (I want one of those stoves)- it is on my bucket list. I will be trying out her gingerbread soon-yum!<br />I read all her books as a child and used to play dress up pioneer by the hour. My elder daughter loved all her books too.

We went...Sharon, you were in my neck of the woods!<br /><br />We went up to see Rocky Creek Farm a couple of years ago-- the weekend of the Baker Creek Seeds spring planting festival. The combination was a heady one for me... if you've never seen that festival, I highly recommend it! It's astonishing to see all manner of gardenfolk, thousands upon thousands, gather in one place in the middle of nowhere to celebrate the beginning of the gardening season. I adored it and hope to return this year.<br /><br />(Laura's home was magic for me as well-- so tiny and cozy! I loved the story about Rose building the fancy new house, and them moving themselves back into their old farmhouse as soon as she left town. You can feel the happiness in that old house, I swear.<br /><br />Have you read the "Little House in the Ozarks" book? I found her newspaper columns in that book especially fascinating.Kimhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07475837511132447438noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8434499602695302521.post-31401054007416273322012-02-08T17:54:31.833-08:002012-02-08T17:54:31.833-08:00What a gorgeous place-I love farmhouses.
