<\/p>\n
This is a celebration of notable people, places, event, and things.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
I like to WRITE when I have a good idea for something I want to share. Schedules don\u2019t work very well with people like me. It\u2019s just too left-brained for me to do anything on a regular schedule.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Have you scanned through the pages of the Old Farmer\u2019s Almanac lately? If not, I think you would really enjoy the magnitude of articles, exceptional photography, poetry, and even the advertisements and the store where you can purchase so many interesting and useful items.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
For instance:<\/p>\n
Do you know what gemstone is represented for the month of December?<\/p>\n
Go ahead, take a guess.\u00a0 Click here to find it.<\/a><\/p>\n How about the FLOWER for December? See it here!<\/a><\/p>\n Do you know what the Winter Solstice is? See it here!<\/a><\/p>\n What \u00a0day will we celebrate the Winter Solstice, and what it means?<\/p>\n Hint:\u00a0 You have 19 more days before we arrive at the Winter Solstice – let’s plan to do something out in NATURE that day. OK?<\/p>\n Tell me what you do that day.\u00a0 I’d love to hear about it.<\/p>\n –<\/p>\n If you LOVE gardening, nature, animals, weather conditions, geology, biology, horoscope, history, and more, you will really enjoy this magazine.<\/p>\n Let me know what you think after you visit The Old Farmer\u2019s Almanac.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n In today\u2019s issue, I found a wonderful poem by William Cullen Bryant.\u00a0 It is posted below so you can read it, too.<\/p>\n I loved reading about\u00a0Bryant’s \u00a0passion for Winter and how he compared the brightness of Winter to the other seasons.<\/p>\n This poem was just perfect for this time of year when WINTER is not yet here. We still have to wait for the Winter Solstice to make the announcement and WELCOME WINTER into our life.<\/p>\n Personally, I hold winter deep in my heart every day of the year.<\/p>\n –<\/p>\n But Winter has yet brighter scenes\u2014he boasts<\/em> –<\/p>\n How about you? Do you also love winter?<\/p>\n Have you ever thought of the seasons as MALE gender, like Bryant did in this\u00a0 poem?<\/p>\n Does the use of the male gender, make you think more about the seasons and why he saw them as male?<\/p>\n What is it that you\u00a0LOVE \u00a0most about Winter?<\/p>\n FIND The Old Farmer’s Almanac on Facebook at This Link.<\/a><\/p>\n –<\/p>\n This feature was written and published by Lynda McKinney Lambert, December 2, 2018.<\/p>\n You may SHARE this post with your friends on SOCIAL MEDIA.<\/p>\n My only request is that you copy and paste, or re-blog, the entire article with my author’s name and copyright information.<\/p>\n I love you for that!<\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n \n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
\n Splendors beyond what gorgeous Summer knows;
\nOr Autumn with his many fruits, and woods
\nAll flushed with many hues.
