In the country, we may not have windows full of expensive goodies, but we have cellars with jars, sweets and pickles, and wheat and corn. We may not always dress up after the last fashion, but we have hard hands and rich tables …

And here, in the country, we know that we have everything we need ”, a she stated in the message that gathered more than 5,000 appreciations and hundreds of comments.
