I would like to be back as early in March as possible so I can plant my spring garden and get things growing again.
We met financial expectations for the quarter in a difficult economic environment. We also signed a two-year programming agreement with Home & Garden Television to launch two new cable television series, and launched the Martha Stewart Kids magazine These initiatives provide future revenue and earnings growth for the brand and build long-term value for shareholders.
I think I may be a better person for having given serious time and thought and effort to gardening.
Gardening is a humbling experience.
I support Alice Waters in her desire that there be a vegetable garden at the White House. I don't think they should rip up the Rose Garden, because that's something that I love. They should probably dig up another patch and grow some vegetables there.
I adore summer entertaining. For a dinner party at the farm, I might prepare homemade fettuccine with porcini mushrooms, soft-shell crabs, spinach from the garden, and lemon tarts with fraises des bois for dessert.
We want people to see what real business is really like,
We're not going to try to avoid things,
When I was a model - and I was all during high school and college - you always wanted to be on the cover of a magazine. That's how your success was judged. The more cover, the better.
This will not only extend our brand but broaden our scope,
I won't be 'firing' the candidates. I don't like 'firing' people...I've never even said 'You're fired,'
I wish it were removable but it is not,
It feels great to be home -- do you guys want any coffee or donuts -- I haven't had breakfast yet,
I think people will go into each of these models and realize that these are finished houses. These are houses you could move into today. And we hope they are inspirational and we hope that people take away ideas not only about the houses themselves but also about the finishing of the houses. They are comfortable and functional and useful.
