I have also been reading a series called The Labybug Farm Series. There are three of them. The author is Donna Ball the titles are:
A Year on Ladybug Farm (written 3/2009)
At Home on Ladybug Farm (written 10/2009
Love Letters From Ladybug Farm ( written 10/2010)
They all involve three women who have been friends for years, are in their 50's and decide it's time to retire...but to they really? They sell their homes and buy and old mansion which is actually a farm and they fix it up to become....well you'll see when you read them. I really liked this series. I enjoy easy, fun and light reading after a hard days work. And being that these women are my age..I could relate with them. I'm in the middle of the last book right now and hope that the author will write another to continue my enjoyment in the life of these three women whom through reading this book have become like friends. I can almost feel myself sitting on the front porch in a rocker sharing a class of wine each night with them. ~ Doreen ~
