Today – I am celebrating The Weekly Avocet.<\/em><\/strong><\/h3>\n

 <\/p>\n

This is a weekly literary magazine that arrives in my in-box every Sunday morning.<\/p>\n

The magazine features poetry and short writings with Nature as the focus.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Each Sunday morning, I make a cup of hot coffee and I go to my E-mail box to find my copy of<\/p>\n

The Weekly Avocet. \u00a0<\/strong><\/em><\/h2>\n

 <\/p>\n

The poems remind me of the beauty, majesty \u00a0mystery and blessing of this world. Each poet brings new insights \u00a0and information to me every week. The Weekly Avocet is a Sunday Sunbeam \u2013 it brightens my day and my thoughts.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Where is YOUR Spot-of-Heaven-on-Earth?<\/strong><\/em><\/h3>\n

The natural world of my own spot-of-heaven-on-earth is western Pennsylvania.<\/p>\n

Wherever you are today, there is a natural world around you that is stunning.<\/p>\n

\u00a0All of Nature is for our good pleasure.<\/strong><\/em><\/h2>\n

 <\/p>\n

Take a look around and bear witness to this glorious truth.<\/p>\n
