With her husband off to fight in the Pacific Theater, Hilda has a farm to run and rooms to rent to wayward souls. But that doesn't mean she can't have fun! There's cows to milk, chickens to chase and her little dog Scrappy getting into messes. All Hilda wants to do is relax in the local swimming hole, enjoy a cup of coffee, maybe make a strawberry shortcake, and count the days until her husband returns. Between gossip and her own projects, there's never a dull moment.
