ramblings from an arkansas farm girl
Dear Sunday Letter readers,
Surprise! Last Sunday I wasn’t sure if I would write a Sunday Letter this week. But here I am saying hello again. The truth is I enjoy this “virtual chat” we have each week. It’s fun to read your comments both on the post and to each other. That’s become my favorite part.
So thank you for joining me on Sunday morning or whenever you find time to read.Continue Reading
Today I’m sharing 10 (surefire) ways to welcome winter. What, you aren’t a winter person? I suspect this post is just what Frosty ordered to help you see the weeks ahead in a different light.
Yes, in the northern hemisphere, the first day of winter arrives this Saturday. December 21 is winter solstice, the shortest day of the year (and the longest night). I celebrate the beginning of each season, but winter solstice feels particularly special to me—as magical as that first snowfall of the year.
Soon, we will begin to notice more light.
Gardeners and farmers in particular rejoice in this, (not that I’m omniscient in my knowledge of gardeners or farmers, or anyone for that matter)…
Welcoming winter with peace and grace is the perfect way to end the year and welcome the next. And I truly believe the quiet, positive energy we give off radiates to those around us.
Dear Sunday Letter friends,
We only have two more weeks in this decade. I say this only because everywhere I turn I see these sorts of announcements—last full moon of the decade! — last Christmas of the decade! — last fill-in-the-blank of the decade!
Ha.
We could play this game for the rest of the year.
Last Sunday Letter of the decade?
Maybe. Maybe not.
It’s always a game-time decision for me.
