This Week's feature
Like a restless heart looking for love, the frozen earth yearns for spring. So do we! While gathering this month’s issue of Simple Abundance Online together, I roared with laughter when I found an article 'Twenty-Five Inches of Snow' by Dorothy Thompson, a well-known writer during the thirties and forties. We’ll be sharing this gem as well as introducing ourselves to the musings of Gladys Taber who wrote over 50 novels and 15 diaries about country life pleasures at her New England home Stillmeadow during the Great Depression and the Homefront years. I’m sure her Diary of Domesticity will bring you as much contentment and comfort as it has me and thousands of Friends of Gladys Taber around the world.
I’ve always thought of March as the Waiting Place (Thank you Dr. Seuss) but she is a fine go-between to keep us company as we journey from deep winter and early spring. We might also be in mid-journey in our personal lives, as I am right now.
While waiting to figure out what the next step in my life is, I recently started a brand new Illustrated Discovery Journal and I’ve been astonished by how much this marvelous insight tool can reveal to us especially when we’re suspended between the Dreaming and It’s Coming True.
There’s plenty of time to indulge in the last of winter’s pleasures—such as Maple Syrup recipes, and pancake breakfasts in bed on inclement week-ends. I first discovered the Victorian tradition of Maple Sugaring Off when I was writing Mrs. Sharp’s Traditions. Last year when I discovered this marvelous vintage magazine illustration from The Delineator in March 1919, I knew I’d have to restore this tradition in some way to our woman’s seasonal calendar.
