I live in TN now and have grandchildren whom I have taught to love Gladys Taber as much as I do! I have 2 grandaughters (12 and 14) who love to read and when I loaned them the book of short stories, they fell in love with her writing style and all her animals. When they returned the book, they asked if I had any others and they were off and running. Nice to know her writing stands the test of time!Juanitadhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17884998132113126186noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4024200559736996534.post-39905253160901032402011-01-01T11:31:34.109-07:002011-01-01T11:31:34.109-07:00I know that Gladys had a granddaughter named Anne ...I know that Gladys had a granddaughter named Anne Colby, who spoke to the media in 2005 when Still Cove was up for sale. But I don't know who has Stillmeadow. The person who designed the website was a neighbor, a young teen at the time, and doesn't know either.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4024200559736996534.post-47295730467025206732010-04-18T13:08:53.957-06:002010-04-18T13:08:53.957-06:00Greeting from the Evergreen state, anyone know abo...Greeting from the Evergreen state, anyone know about who lives in Gladys' house now?tak01https://www.blogger.com/profile/06989272551394527867noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4024200559736996534.post-87350231458841904882010-04-14T23:55:20.173-06:002010-04-14T23:55:20.173-06:00Thank you all for leaving comments on this post.

So many of the old sites about her are gone (one because, so sadly, the woman who ran it died), and I'm still looking to see if there are new ones. Lovely posting, and I'm so glad to have a list of books. I think it is time I buy them. I own only Stillmeadow Sampler. Are you a member of the Friends of GT? Have I asked you that before? :<)Nanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15547916206007733970noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4024200559736996534.post-9462492989867961542009-08-19T10:51:51.872-06:002009-08-19T10:51:51.872-06:00If you can find her books it it so worth it.

Both great naturalists. <br /><br />I would like to hear comments about Hal, if you have read him?tak01https://www.blogger.com/profile/06989272551394527867noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4024200559736996534.post-30905845890381191622009-05-18T11:56:00.000-06:002009-05-18T11:56:00.000-06:00I hope that you'll stop by my website...it's a tri...I hope that you'll stop by my website...it's a tribute to Gladys Taber and her beloved Stillmeadow. <br /><br />http://www.geocities.com/stillmeadow/<br /><br />It's always wonderful to find someone else who loves Gladys.

I just haven't quite gotten around to planting them all. <br /><br />Thank you for mentioning the moon garden.

She gave me a little dose each month as I longed to return to Oregon. It was years later that I discovered she had written books. I collected all I could and enjoy them still, reading them by the seasons. I love Fall the best with the hustle of getting the garden cleared, the canning done and preparing for the storms. We have a little cabin in the woods of Washington now and I plan to plant a moon garden like the one Jill planted for Gladys of all white flowers with an old wicker chair to sit in and ponder my blessings just like Gladys.Yackernoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4024200559736996534.post-26497479326413344012009-01-28T12:19:00.000-07:002009-01-28T12:19:00.000-07:00Personally, I would go for any of the Stillmeadow ...Personally, I would go for any of the Stillmeadow books.

For me it was about the rural life and the garden more than the house. Looking at the lengthy list of what she wrote, I know I didn't read them all by a long shot but she was an author who I loved to find something new in the library and read what I could get my hands on. It was a lifestyle that seemed so idyllic in a lot of ways but it never really is what the books portray probably.Rain Trueaxhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07994628226501093880noreply@blogger.com
