Don't Blink This Way of Life Is Passing on a Ranch
A onetime California rancher, Charles Gramespacher, tends 79 acres near Crow Canyon Road with sheep and cattle. He mourns tax pressures and rising development, values self-reliance, and recalls eight decades of farming, family, and changes from family rooms to pig farms, while guiding his granddaughter Christina and maintaining a small, laborious homestead under a wide, aging sky.
