A Time to Keep

"And it was summer, warm beautiful summer."  I have always loved this quote.  It was in the darling book a Time to Keep by Tasha Tudor.  Do you remember that book? I hope you do.  I used to flip through this book often when I was little because the pictures are so pretty.  In a Time to Keep the Tudor Family was always busy creating and keeping sweet family traditions for each month, holiday and season of the year. I love this idea and while I can't quite offer the same old fashioned delights that Tasha Tudor did, below is a list of some of our own ideas and traditions that we hope are worth keeping. 

(You should know I have never liked the term bucket list.  Too much of a reminder of death.  No thanks)
