Greetings!
"The Giving Nature of Trees, NPR's Morning Edition, and Sexing Your Pinecones" is online now from Connecting People with Nature, and Writers with Words. Like the three sapling pine trees (duct-taped together) that form my Christmas tree this year, this newest, bite-sized essay weaves together three different themes.
Here's a sneak peak...
"In the small mountain community where I live, hundreds of Douglas fir and Ponderosa pines are being selectively felled for fire mitigation. We are using the straightest of the "poles" to build a new barn for our community herd of horses, a bittersweet project because the trees must die...." Read the rest. Wishing you this holiday season the chance to walk in the woods with a loved one, to stand beneath a blue sky surrounded by a family of trees, and to touch the bough of an evergreen and breathe in its perfume, rekindling your faith in the innate goodness of the world.

Featured Holiday Read
The Christmas Clock
by Kat Martin
A touching story about a young boy, a dying grandmother, the love of friends, and why we are meant to go home.
Personal Note: I've known Kat for about 15 years. She's a New York Times bestselling romance author, a great gal, and married to Larry J. Martin - a great chef, also an author, and a lucky guy to have snagged such a woman (ha!). Merry Christmas, Kat and Larry. |
