Just your quick little comment was a breath of fresh air in this hectic, fast-paced world! <BR/><BR/>Thanks, also, for the suggestions on looking for Gladys Taber's books! I think it will happy by serendipity some time, just when I most need to read them.

Often I watch people rush through each day and take no notice of what is around them. The sun through the falling leaves.. the sound of rain on the roof.. it goes by without a thought.

I love books with a seasonal, or month by month, awareness as well. I look for her books at my used book resource, but have not chanced upon one as of yet. I guess folks that have her books hold on to them!Marciehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00582731584317660272noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34352399.post-1162947284349779082006-11-07T19:54:00.000-05:002006-11-07T19:54:00.000-05:00"Which of her books is your favorite?"

Though it is cold in January, the light is much stronger and the days get longer and longer as the month procedes. <BR/><BR/>And I do like November. The astrological sign of Scorpio is all about delving deep, looking at the things we need to change, not just going through the days mindlessly.<BR/><BR/>It is a time to read, to bake, to Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34352399.post-1162739097986682002006-11-05T10:04:00.000-05:002006-11-05T10:04:00.000-05:00Senryu, Thank you!

They start it after the harvest, at the worst part of the year, because then things get progressively better. By the end of the year, they've seen things go from cold and dead, to waking up, starting to live. From just beginning to live, to Living, maturing in summer.
