I set a goal for myself to have my
reread of Stillmeadow and Sugarbridge (1953) completed by midweek. The continuous, back to back days of rain has
helped me to attain that end.
Written by both Gladys Taber, my
favorite author, and by Barbara Webster, a favorite author, has added to the
ease of my usual reading habit. Quite
frankly, I often fall asleep while reading whether the book in hand is good or
otherwise. This book is a reflection of
correspondence between these two authors; one living in Connecticut and the
other in Pennsylvania. They share a talented illustrator, Edward Shenton, who
also happens to be the husband of Barbara Webster. I am sure many of you have noticed his name,
as illustrator, attached to many notable books.
Today, I came across the following
offered by Taber:
“Simple things make up my treasures most
of the time. There are so many in the country…
“Possibly if we all saw to it that everyone
had enough of the simple things- it’s a thought anyways”
I agree. I cherish the simple things, the little things
that make up my life on my farm.
Always.
Look around your world for the simple things, the treasures in your life.
Always.
Look around your world for the simple things, the treasures in your life.
