#December 2, 1860
#OTD Oliver Herford, #English-American #Writer, #Artist, & #Illustrator, is born.

Here's a charming verse from Oliver about the month of December.

I heard a #Bird sing
In the dark of December.
A #Magical thing
And #Sweet to #Remember.
We are nearer to #Spring
Then we were in #September,
I heard a bird sing
In the #Dark of December.

The Last Moments of #November

November is almost over.
Were we truly thankful for:
- The final #Days of #Summer
- The start of #Sweater #Weather
- The return of #Cranberries & #Pies
- The big #Family #Shindig

Goodbye, #Shoulder #Season.
And #Farewell to:
- All #Orange #Decor
- The #Lawn #Mower
- #Capri Pants & #Beach Towels
- The #Garden

#OTD Frank Meyer, Dutch-American #Plant Explorer, is born.

Frank once confessed in a #Letter to #Friend,

"I am #Pessimistic by #Nature & have not found a #Road which leads to [#Happiness].
I withdraw from humanity & try to find [happiness] with plants."

Frank was a #Loner & suffered from #Anxiety. He felt more at ease with #Plants than #People. Like many #Gardeners, he even named his plants & #Talked them.

#OTD Death of Karl #Foerster, #German #Plant #Breeder.

He spied his #Famous #Grass along the tracks & pulled the emergency brake on a #Train to get the specimen.

Karl Forster Grass was #Perennial #Plant of the Year in 2001.

Karl lived to be 96. He spent nearly nine decades #Gardening.
He once said,

"In my next #Life, I'd like to be a #Gardener once again.

Adelaide Crapsey's legacy is the #Cinquain or the five-lined unrhymed stanza form. She was inspired by the #Haiku.

Adelaide loved the #Simplicity and #Power of Japanese #Poetry.
Her best Cinquain is #November #Night:

Listen...
With faint dry sound,
Like steps of passing #Ghosts,
The #Leaves, #Frost-crisped, break from the #Trees
And #Fall.

The #Melancholy days are come, the #Saddest of the year,
Of wailing #Winds, and naked #Woods, and meadows #Brown and sear.

November 23, 1990
#OTD Roald Dahl, British #Children’s #Author, died.

An avid #Gardener, his #Garden #Shed doubled as his #Writing #Nook.
(Roald #Smoked as he wrote. The shed kept the smoke out of the house.)

Roald once wrote,

Mary, Mary, quite contrary
How does your #Garden grow?

“I live with my brat in a high-rise flat,
So how in the world would I know?”

#November 22, 1819
#OTD #George #Eliot,#English #Victorian #Author, is born.

Eliot wrote,

I wish the #Sky would #Rain down #Roses...
Why will it not?

Then all the valleys would be #Pink and white,
& #soft to tread on.

Eliot loved the idea of #Raining roses but knew it was only a #Dream.

She wrote,

It never #Rains roses.

When we want more roses, we must #Plant more...

I walk down the #Patterned #Garden #Paths
In my stiff, brocaded #Gown.
With my powdered hair and #Jeweled fan,
I, too, am a #Rare #Pattern.
As I #Wander down
the garden paths.

You are #Ice and #Fire,

Nature's first green is gold,
Her hardest #Hue to hold.

Her early #Leaf's a #flower;
But only so an hour.

Then leaf subsides to leaf.
So #Eden sank to #Grief,

So #Dawn goes down to day.
Nothing #Gold can #Stay.

The Little Purple #Aster waits till very late,
Till the #Flowers all have faded from the #Garden gate.
Then when the #World is dreary, her #Buds have all unfurled,
They seek to #Cheer the everchanging, somber #Autumn world.

The #Autumn has tinged the #Trees with #Gold,
And crimsoned the #Shrubs of the #Hills;
And the full #Seed #Sleeps in the earth's #Bosom so cold;
And #Hope all the #Universe fills.

Though summers change and pass away -
Though dies the #Beauty of the hill and plain -
Though warmth and color fade each #Autumn day -
#Hope passes not, and abides to say
That our brightest #Joys shall all come again.

A tiny #Seed
A garden #Flower.
