This book is sloooooowww and it's tempting to skip through a lot of it but buried amidst his calculations of how much he spent on farming potatoes and his lengthy accounts of ice freezing and thawing on the pond are some real gems. Profound descriptions of a contemplative life in its most minimal form. Simply, man observing nature, becoming acquainted with its subtle beauty and ever-changing character.
