I am an explorer A Quote by C.S. Lewis www.chipswritinglessons.com I do not sit down at my desk to put into in verse something that is already clear in my mind.

Almanacs and cyclical time An Article by Austin Kleon austinkleon.com I am fascinated by the Farmer’s Almanac, and the “Planting by the Moon” guide in particular, which has advice such as: “Root crops that can be planted now will yield well.” “Good days for killing weeds.” “Good days for transplanting.” “Barren days.
