Each year, on Martha's birthday, I always find myself imagining what she might be doing. Is she at Skylands, perhaps on her Hinckley Picnic Boat, sailing to one of the satellite islands for a casual lobster dinner with friends? Is she at Lily Pond Lane, out by the pool with Alexis and her grandchildren? Maybe at Bedford for a larger celebration under a big canopy with the horses grazing nearby. Whatever she is doing, I'm sure she is content and feeling celebratory. On behalf of everyone who reads Martha Moments, I want to wish her a very happy 72nd birthday today. For the sake of nostalgia, I've posted this photo of Martha taken in 1961 (likely by Andy Stewart) on the New York City subway. She looked great then and she looks even better today! Happy Birthday, Martha, and thank you for all the inspiration.

Thanks for sharing the photo Andrew. Martha's body language hasn't seemed to change through the years.
Hi Andrew! Greetings from Mount Lebanon.
Beautiful photo of Martha Love it! I sent her a birthday wish on her blog, wishing her all the best xx
Happy Birthday to Martha! Beautiful picture, she truly is a pretty lady. I really miss the old days of HGTV when she, her homes and gardens were the focus of the show. I just loved her rather than a studio with audience and guests.
Blessings,
Cindy
She truly is a pretty lady! I really miss the old shows when it was Martha in her home, kitchen and gardens. I much preferred them over a studio with guests and an audience.
HAPPY BIRTHDAY MARTHA!
Blessings,
Cindy
Hi Andrew!
I'm just taking the opportunity to say how much I like your blog and to share the admiration I feel for Martha! I can't believe she's 72 and still so vibrant and looking for new adventures... what an inspiration!
I do like her bag. Good taste even back in the day!
If you're wondering how Martha celebrated her bday check this guy's instagram :)

Thanks for the sweet comments and link! (Anonymous: I didn't even notice her bag at first, but it is very nice! And I am sure she made the dress she is wearing.)
"this guy's" instagram ... my goodness-- this guy-- is a professional photographer! His access to the special day was well, a treat to be documented for fans-- but Honestly, does MS pay for her own birthday bash? Certainly there are plenty of entities willing to help her celebrate ... oh the life of the rich and famous....oh wait there is the fate of PD and well was not MS on A certain cooking channel too....
