Also, the dino kale caught my eye for somehow we managed to keep some dino kale (it seems very hardy) alive in our vegetable garden til last week. It's so nice to see your recipe for it gives me some interesting ideas of how to use it!<br />with best wishes!<br />NanNan and =^..^=https://www.blogger.com/profile/11452734435546862503noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8434499602695302521.post-85625690766582612852010-12-24T13:21:20.612-08:002010-12-24T13:21:20.612-08:00I love your sheep! what a delightful collection! ...I love your sheep! what a delightful collection!

That cookbook was such a staple for so many of us.<br />The use of the variegated Buckthorn for a Christmas tree is a wonderful idea. I'm always looking for an alternative to the traditional fur or pine. My Mom use to put her tree in a big old crock at Christmas. It was a sturdy and beautiful way to keep the tree steady.<br />Oh, Tasha Tudor. I do love her illustrations. She led a life that was so amazing and true.... she was an example to us all. She is truly missed.farmladyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10516462251842458511noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8434499602695302521.post-4536467180584325782010-12-23T17:15:53.179-08:002010-12-23T17:15:53.179-08:00oh your tree is so cute! i love the squirrel. di...oh your tree is so cute! i love the squirrel. did you make the no-knead bread? if so, which one did you make?jaz@octoberfarmhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17249328159454897124noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8434499602695302521.post-51528192563571209272010-12-23T12:44:17.875-08:002010-12-23T12:44:17.875-08:00Hi Sharon, thanks for the Christmas wishes - I'...Hi Sharon, thanks for the Christmas wishes - I'm sure you'll have a great one! <br />I love this post with the decorations, hopes and dreams!<br />(I do sympathise with your hubby and the sailboat - one of my dreams too)<br />Dan<br />-x-Danhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00670407627249157371noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8434499602695302521.post-10294955782060198702010-12-23T07:38:51.074-08:002010-12-23T07:38:51.074-08:00Well Sweet Rebecca, you know how I've always f...Well Sweet Rebecca, you know how I've always felt about you (since you were a youngling) not that you're OLD now.

I want to share with you a very special Christmas memory you reawakened in me by offering the Tasha Tudor Cookbook for Christmas. My daughter is now 26, but when she was just a little girl in 2nd grade, a friend introduced her to Tasha Tudor one Christmas, when they read, and then reenacted "A Doll's Christmas". They did this for several years, and for one of those years I gave each of them a copy of this wonderful cookbook. I kept the cookbook in my collection, until my daughter married, and now it's in her home. Seeing the lovely illustrations has reminded me of how my daughter and I felt like we were peaking in through Tasha's windows and seeing how she and her corgies were preparing the recipes.<br />My daughter lives in Ohio now, and her friend is in Washington, but just for the moment I can see both of them having their Doll's Christmas together in front of the tree. Until grandchildren arrive, Christmas is about remembering these cherished moments, and anticipating the fun we'll hopefully have some day with those new little ones. We look forward to sharing our homes in Bremen, ME and Arlington, VA with them. Many thank you's to you for letting me share this with you. Merry Christmas, Sharon (When he has time, I hope my husband will show me how to have a Google account, until then, I'm signing out anonymously. So sorry.)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8434499602695302521.post-11268949724304540272010-12-23T07:17:11.547-08:002010-12-23T07:17:11.547-08:00Ahhh... memories of Tassajara Bakery! For years, ...Ahhh... memories of Tassajara Bakery! For years, I lived 3 houses down from their bakery on Cole Street in SF, and would stop there each morning while walking to work. Thanks for the delicious Kale salad recipe, I will most certainly try it! I couldn't agree with you more about the world of social media. Garden Rant recently asked their readers' opinion of SM outside of blogs, and while many scorned Facebook and Twitter, I couldn't help but let everyone know how enriched my life is because of the friendships I've made (virtually AND in person). If I couldn't read my favorite blogs (yours being one of them, of COURSE), my light would be a little less bright. Have the merriest of Christmases, my friend, and may 2011 be filled with peace, health and happiness.rebecca sweethttp://www.gossipinthegarden.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8434499602695302521.post-7325006758732022662010-12-22T17:25:13.161-08:002010-12-22T17:25:13.161-08:00Sharon what a wonderful giveaway!

I often saw Barbara Cooney (when she was well) in downtown Damariscotta. <br />She was lovely with that wreath of silver hair and her perfect complexion and sweetheart face.<br /><br />She did so much for our town. Our library is amazing and it features her work, two Caldecott medals and more. <br /><br />Miss Rumphius (Hilda Hamlin) lived a mile from our cottage at Christmas Cove. <br /><br />Tasha once lived in Connecticut-Jeff and I found her little cottage after delving into town records, but I always think of her as a Vermont woman.Sharon Lovejoyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04321160956925191137noreply@blogger.com
