In this seventeenth-century Connecticut farmhouse and its lovely surroundings, Mrs. Taber finds something new to observe and feel with each passing day, with each changing season. Whether she is setting out a warm dinner for skunks, raccoons, and barn cats, or making potpourri from the petals of summer roses, her life is a constant celebration of nature. She invites her readers to share her pleasure in the masses of wild irises that grace the fields in May, the music of cicadas and the musky fragrance of goldenrod that fill the August air, the full moon casting shadows like intricate etchings on the white blanket that covers the winter earth.'', J B Lippincott, 1974., 3<
