#December 23, 1987
#OTD #Felder #Rushing, American #Writer & #Garden #Columnist at The Clarion-Ledger, shared his #Holiday #Poem for #Gardeners - a twist on 'Twas the Night Before #Christmas.

Felder is known as an eleventh-generation #Gardener and a non-stuffy #Horticulturist who travels the #World looking for #Simple #Garden approaches to share with his readers.

Winter is a study in #HalfTones
One must have an #Eye for them or go #Lonely.

Trees, #Skies, & even the ...#Colors of #Winter #Birds & little #Mammals are all subdued...

Now #One may make #Friends with #Owls & #Mice,
with the different colored stems of #Willows... & #Sassafras...
with the #Berries that the #Birds seek out,
with the #Bark of #Trees & the #Prints of the #Fourfooted.

My old #sourdough Mme Hoppla exploded (I tell the story in my #podcast). How could I name this new #creature housing single-celled #fungi and #lactobacilli, wild #yeasts and good #bacteria from #soil? In my new podcast ep I intervied one of these bacteria! And you will learn that your body is made of quite much non-human stuff.
