On April 12, 1899 Gladys Taber was born. During her lifetime she wrote 59 books including the Stillmeadow books. This is what the internet has to say about one of her books......
When Gladys Taber and her friend Jill bought the
shabby seventeenth-century Connecticut farmhouse, they saw it as a
weekend escape from the city for their husbands and children.
But
eventually they lived there year round, in the old country house they
worked hard to restore. This is a book about them and their beloved
Stillmeadow: the flow of the seasons, the garden produce, the neighbors
who came to visit, and the children who loved Stillmeadow. It all comes
to life in this round-the-calendar record of the changing seasons of the
land and of the heart.
I'm fortunate to own 6 of her books and reread them almost annually.
We had a lovely Easter with family get-togethers. Our weather hasn't been great but I'm sure it will change one of these days. Seems we only get a day of sunshine here and there. Now that Easter has come and gone I think we're all thinking of getting out into the garden. Maybe some pictures of flowers would be nice.
The first 3 were off the internet, the last ones were my garden last year. I can hardly wait!!
Thanks for visiting,

Thank you for the beautiful flower pictures....especially the last ones, from your garden. Can't wait to see your garden this year!
ReplyDeleteWe are such kindred spirits!! I absolutely ADORE anything and everything about Gladys Tabor. I have many of her books and read them regularly. She has been my inspiration since I was in my 20's. Did you read her Butternut Wisdom column in Women's Day magazine?
ReplyDeleteBeautiful flower photos. Your garden flowers are even more beautiful than the internet ones my friend. I'm glad you had a good Easter. We did too. It was a wonderful morning at church. Very good messages.
ReplyDeleteBlessings,

I love sweet peas and your garden too. Here the weather was fine on Saturday and Sunday, but today we will have more rain and wind. We also had a nice Easter break
ReplyDeleteGlorious spring time blooms!!!
ReplyDeleteLOVE your garden! And especially the white flowers with the pink centers...gorgeous!

We look forward to see more flowers now! I bought some pots with Daffodils on my balcony, and it is so nice to see. It is still cold here, but they say it will be warmer next week!
ReplyDeleteThe flowers are all so pretty. I've never read any of her books.
ReplyDeleteFavorite books are great similar to favorite movies...we had a very nice Easter too.
ReplyDeleteI can already see the colors in the tulip buds in the garden... it won't be long now.
I wish you sunshine.

Lucky you to have so many Gladys Taber books. I have just one and like you, reread it annually. Spring flowers are everywhere now, and so very welcome.
ReplyDeleteGlad your Easter went well. I've not heard of Gladys Taber and so did a library search - nothing! Even our biggest online bookshop only had one book of hers, so I guess I will just have to let you enjoy her books for me :)
ReplyDeleteWhat wonderful and amazing tulips in your garden! Soon they will flourish also in this spring, I'm shure!
ReplyDeleteHello GM! I have lots of Gladys Taber books, too. I must peruse them again! Yes, the garden! I pray for sunshine for you!
ReplyDeleteOh, that was Pom Pom by the way! (BIG HUG!)
ReplyDeleteI think I have the book Stillmeadow in my sewing room cupboard. But right now I am reading another of your recommendations, Miss Read Chronicles of Fairacre. It’s slow going for me now because I just want to live outside digging in the dirt. Your flower garden is always beautiful so you have much to look forward to. Mary @ Hilltop Post
