Stillmeadow Daybook

After supper we go out in the yard so the dogs can have a last race in the leaves. The wine-dark air, the luminous maples in the moonlight, and the lesser lantern of the fire shining through the windows of the little white house, these seem newly discovered, newly beautiful. The stars are very bright; they look like apple blossoms on the infinite tree of heaven. The sky, probably because of the cold, has a great depth. It is like the ocean on a calm quiet night, so deep, so pure."

Autumn at Stillmeadow holds a special savor for Gladys Taber, but she brought to every season an acute awareness of the beauty around her, a passion that transformed the ordinary and won her a permanent place in the hearts of thousands of readers. Her books about life at Stillmeadow, the seventeenth-century farmhouse she lovingly restored with the help of her friend Jill, have enchanted readers for four decades with their humor and tart wisdom.

Stillmeadow Daybook provides a month-by month account of rural life in a seventeenth-century Connecticut farmhouse restored by the author.
