he light, sound and smell of wood fires burning in the Green and Red rooms were just the first sign of the intimacy Jill Biden sought for the White House’s holiday decorations this year. The Bidens, it turns out, love to spend a cozy night in America’s home warming up by a crackling fireplace; the White House has 28 of them.

The first lady chose the theme “Gifts From the Heart,” with each room decorated in its own mini-theme, including the “Gift of Family” and the “Gift of Service,” which is dedicated to the military, front-line workers and first responders.

Gone are Melania Trump’s

imposing — and some said, scary — blood red trees in the East Colonnade, from 2018, which late-night TV host Jimmy Fallon likened to Christmas in hell.

Gone are the dozens of lifesize “snow people,” wearing scarves and hats, in the first lady’s garden, installed by

Michelle Obama in 2015, and moved inside in 2016.

President Barack Obama told People magazine that they reminded him of a horror movie. “There’s a whole kind of Chucky element to them,” he said. “They’re a little creepy.”

Instead, Jill Biden’s Colonnade is a lower-key presentation, with shooting stars and peace doves hanging from the ceiling. The Blue Room’s official White House Christmas tree is dotted with peace doves holding white ribbons bearing the names of each state. The official cookie handed out to guests is in the shape of a dove and covered in white icing.

Biden’s first foray into holiday decorating at the White House was not glitzy

or opulent, but rather an enhanced version of how many American families decorate their own homes, with lots of

candles and twinkling lights.

Spinach, lettuce, mache, and parsley are not growing now; cold weather has arrested growth and the leaves are just sitting, waiting to be harvested. Very soon temperatures will get low enough to put a permanent end to the fresh vegetable harvest for the season.

The roots of most of the spinach, leeks, parsley, and corn salad plants, and maybe a few of the lettuce plants, will survive the winter, though their tops will freeze. In the spring, these roots will stimulate succulent new leaf-growth, which will be the first harvest next season, well before any new seedlings are large enough to harvest. I contend that those first pickings in the spring, and these last pickings in the fall, taste better than any salad greens you can buy.

NE OF MY GARDENing goals is to produce a year-round supply of vegetables from the small amount of garden space that I devote to that purpose.

A portion of the crop now is tucked away in the freezer. Tomatoes have been canned, and cabbages, winter squashes, and root crops are in “fresh” storage in the refrigerator, living room and cellar, respectively. Best of all are those vegetables that are picked fresh from the garden.

I haven’t yet thrown in the trowel for these vegetables, even if it snows or temperatures drop to the teens. By planting the cold-hardiest of vegetables, giving plants a little protection, and planting in sheltered nooks, I still am able to harvest salad fixings.

I rate leeks, spinach, and parsley amongst the three cold-hardiest vegetables. They all flag a bit following bitter cold nights, but they perk up again each day once the sun warms the air. The outer layers of the sheath-like, edible stems of leeks (actually, a concentric bundle of unfurled leaves) appear somewhat ragged with the wide swings in temperature this time of year, but I just peel off the outer layers and use the tender, white interiors. The leaves of spinach I planted at the end of August covered the ground just as tomatoes, peppers, cucumbers, and other warm season crops were waning. Parsley, which I sowed in early summer, has not quite regained the vigor it had in summer when it formed a dense-green, miniature rococo landscape along the edge of my terrace.

Nonetheless, the parsley still is tasty.

As cold weather approached this fall, I hastily put together some primitive coverings to protect plants. I joined pairs of 8-by 12-inch pieces of plexiglass at their peaks with iron strapping, then set these miniature A-frames end-toend over rows of radishes and salad greens. I also perched larger pieces of plexiglass hor-

Sauna has all the comforts of home

ERHAPS THE ORIGinal spa treatment, the sauna has origins going back more than 1,000 years. When you consider the benefits, that’s not surprising. A sauna’s intense dry heat cleanses the pores, eliminates toxins (through perspiration), tones the skin, improves circulation, aids in weight loss and relieves stress. This do-it-yourself version features a thoroughly modern benefit — you can enjoy it in the comfort of your own home.

Measuring about 6 feet long by 4 feet wide by 6 feet tall, the project is designed to fit almost anywhere. Fully insulated to keep the heat in, the sauna is warmed by a self-contained heating unit and features two benches arranged in tiers.

The project is lined with Western red cedar, and calls for Douglas fir and plywood for the framing and exterior walls. All straight cuts and a modular design make construction basic enough for most doit-yourselfers.

The Sauna plan, No. 563, is $9.95 and includes step-

by-step assembly instructions with photos, a detailed isometric drawing, construction diagrams, a complete shopping list and cutting schedule and a toll-free help line for project questions.

Please include $3.95 for postage and handling and allow about two weeks for

delivery.

In the face of volatility in the financial markets and new concerns about the coronavirus pandemic, mortgage rates were essentially flat this week.

According to the latest data released Thursday by Freddie Mac, the 30-year fixed-rate average ticked up to 3.11% with an average 0.6 point. (A point is a fee paid to a lender equal to 1% of the loan amount. It is in addition to the interest rate.) It was 3.1% the previous week and 2.71% a year ago.

Freddie Mac, the federally chartered mortgage investor, aggregates rates from around 80 lenders across the country to come up with weekly national averages.

The survey is based on home purchase mortgages.

Rates for refinances may be different. It uses rates for high-quality borrowers with strong credit scores and large down payments.

Because of the criteria, these rates are not available to every borrower.

The 15-year fixed-rate average slid to 2.39% with an average 0.6 point. It was 2.42% the previous week and 2.26% a year ago. The five-year adjustable rate average increased to 2.49% with an average 0.3 point. It was 2.47% a week ago and 2.86% a year ago.

“Mortgage rates have been on a bumpy upward trajectory since September,” said Holden Lewis, a home and mortgage specialist with NerdWallet.

“This week was one of those bumps, as investors sought the safety of government and mortgage bonds as they await more information about the new coronavirus variant.”

Berkshire Botanical Garden presents “Late Fall Sausage” on Dec. 11 from 10 a.m. to 1 p.m. This hands-on workshop takes the participants through the process of making sausage at home while incorporating seasonal botanicals. Jake Levin is a Berkshire-based butcher, educator and artist empowering people to connect more deeply with the food they eat. Learn the history and process of sausage making. Not only will students get a chance to participate, they will walk away with samples to enjoy at home, a set of recipes, and the frameworks needed to create their own seasonal recipes. Cost is $55 members, $65 nonmembers. To register, visit berkshire botanical.org. Berkshire Botanical Garden is located at 5 West Stockbridge Road.

Have you heard of pocillovy?

OU’VE HEARD OF philately (stamp collecting) and numismatics (collecting currency and medals), but what about pocillovy? Derived from the Latin words for “little cup” and “egg,” pocillovy is the word for collecting eggcups. Eggcups are said to have originated in France. King Louis XV (1715-1774) made them popular. Later they made their way into Victorian dinner services, where nearly every type of food had its own specialized dish and utensils.

British manufacturers quickly realized these small ceramic cups would make excellent souvenirs, and people started collecting them. Eggcups are still made and collected, and have adapted to changing styles in ceramics.

This eggcup with a stylized chicken’s head, wings and tail, called “Coquetier Poule,” sold for $2,080 at Palm Beach Modern Auctions in Florida. It was designed by Francois-Xavier Lalanne, a 20th-century French sculptor, whose designs were often made to look like animals.

Along with his wife and collaborator Claude, he often made whimsical, surreal sculptures.

His playful, modernist style is seen in the plain white color and stylized features of the eggcup.

Q. About 20 years ago,

Current prices are recorded from antiques shows, flea markets, sales and auctions throughout the United States. Prices vary in different locations because of local economic conditions.

to make clocks and opened a workshop on his farm in Massachusetts in the 1740s, where his four sons, Benjamin Jr., Simon, Aaron and Ephraim, learned clockmaking. The three older brothers opened shops in Boston: Benjamin Jr. in 1770, Aaron in 1785 and Simon in 1788. Simon was the most well-known and patented several inventions, including the banjo clock. Aaron, the maker of your clock, made hundreds of banjo clocks, shelf clocks and tall case clocks (another name for a grandfather clock). They sell at auctions for a few hundred to several thousand dollars. If you’re thinking of selling your clock, you should contact an auction house that has had recent sales that include grandfather clocks or a shop that sells expensive clocks. The rotating dial with scenes adds extra value, so your clock should sell for a high price.

Q. My mother bought a

glass vase from France in 1918. It’s marked “Veritable Dolhain Wirths.” I’ve searched for information about the maker and found none. Can you help?

A.

Not much is known about the maker who used this mark. “Veritable” seems to be meant to imply the authenticity of the piece. Sometimes the words “genuine” or “echt” (which means “for real” in Dutch) are used on the mark instead of “veritable.” Dolhain is an area in Belgium that is part the city of Limbourg.

“Wirths” could be the name of the company, but there is

first ladies tend to after they move in. Biden has been working on these since late May, according to Carlos Elizondo, the White House social secretary, and has been “very involved” in the planning, Communications Director Elizabeth Alexander said.

Biden carried over many of the traditions of other first families. The Marine Corps band played such Christmas songs as “The First Noel” and “O Little Town of Bethlehem” outside the entrance to the East Wing, which is decorated with a towering arch of huge red boxes tied with ribbons.

Then guests were escorted through a hallway filled with framed photos of the first family, including Jill Biden receiving the White House Christmas tree last week.

The official 2021 gingerbread house — a favorite every year — this time is made with a theme of gratitude for the country’s front-line workers. That was Biden’s idea.

“She wanted to help highlight the people that have gotten us through this pandemic that we’re still in,” Elizondo said.

The display features eight community buildings, such as a hospital, a fire station and a schoolhouse adjoining a huge replica of the White House, which, just like the real thing, has wreaths hanging in most of the outside windows. Biden loves holiday lights and is the first to place a large illuminated wreath atop the pediment of the North Portico. The wreath in the same spot on the gingerbread house lights up, too.

Susan Morrison, White House executive pastry chef, said five people worked on the 350-pound house for several weeks. During a tour of the decorations last week, Biden placed the final touch: a gingerbread schoolteacher holding an English grade book and a apple-filled satchel reading “No. 1 teacher.”

The theme, Alexander said, was chosen because the president and first lady “wanted to focus on things that unite

Hanging from the mantel under Abraham Lincoln’s portrait are knit red-andwhite-striped stockings with the Biden grandchildren’s names in green yarn: Naomi, Finnegan, Maisy, Natalie, Hunter, and Baby Beau. Biden ordered them from the same person who made the ones she has in her own home.

Every year, the White House’s holiday decorations manage to reflect the mood in Washington. Most first ladies dust off some recycled ornaments so it makes them look environmentally friendly and frugal. For the Obamas’ first Christmas in 2009, the stock market had tanked and the unemployment rate was 10%.

So a curious blend of harvested “dried root material” from the White House kitchen garden trimmed some of the wreaths and trees.
