Normally I don't recommend links before I didn't read/checked them myself. But #natureWriter Robert MacFarlane recommended this #essay about the Eco-Cultural #Revitalization on the #Klamath. Text by Ben Goldfarb with photos by Kiliii Yüyan: https://emergencemagazine.org/essay/a-river-reborn/
And as a fan of him and @emergencemagazine I believe it is brillant and will read it later! (MacFarlane, Goldfarb, and #EmergenceMagazine are now on Bsky).

#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.

Image of a newspaper clipping that reads:

Hoe, hoe, hoe!
Happy holidays
to gardeners

"Twas the night before Christmas, and all through the yard
The branches were all bare and the ground frozen hard;
The roses were dormant and mulched all around
To protect them from damage if frost heaves the ground.
The perennials were nestled all snug in their beds
While visions of 6-8-8 danced in their heads.
The new-planted shrubs had been soaked by the hose
To settle their roots for the long winter's doze. And out on the lawn, wild onions and garlic
Were starting their annual wintertime frolic.
When what to my wondering eyes should appear
But a truck full of gifts of gardening gear! Saint Nick was the driver, the jolly old elf
And he winked as he said, "I'm a gardener myself.

A Santa ornament holding a bear is on the left side of the image, and he is nestled in some holiday greens.

Nature writer Dallas Lore Sharp (1870–1929) catching ‘the spirit of the season’ in his 1912 book Winter. Read this and listen to Hans Abrahamsen’s "Schnee"... (album recommended by @cornelius )

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.
