I think this was my fav of all the books she wrote. My stepmother wrote to Mrs. Taber and she wrote back, thus becoming penpals because they both shared a love of dogs, gardening, and drinking tea outside in the crisp morning air, while they watched their dogs romp. (Mrs. Taber's were Iris setters and Cockers, and my Step-mother's were Brittanys).
This book was a like a quiet, comfortable place to visit. I loved Gladys Taber's description of her life in the country, and her appreciation for the simple things in life. I have to read more of her work now!

Her books recall a time when life was hard but sweet. When you and your neighbor existed side-by-side in companionable charity. Gladys makes you feel as if you can come right in and have a glass of iced tea anytime.
An easy read. For relaxed reading.
A bit dated and very sentimental, but restful.
Lovely
