As ever a lovely poem to February, helps me be mindful of my own surroundings and reflect on the month gone by. So many shared observations and love the unexpected ones.

I’m really enjoying the process of writing down my observations then a look back. I usually get to this point in the year where there is a glimmer of light but feel true light is still far away. This year I’m very conscious of how far we’ve come in 8 weeks. Thank you Lia, for the process and the community.

I always feel February is a really cold and grey month but it really isn’t, we are coming out of hibernation into the light. Fabulous!

Truly beautiful 🤩 I bought five copies of the Almanac to give as Christmas presents because I wanted to share the joy and enthusiasm of watching the seasons change. So perfect! Thank you dear Lia ♥️🙏🏻

Thank you Lia, for weaving all of our observations together so skillfully. I find it rather moving, the way a group of strangers can be connected by their love of nature and the seasonal shifts.

Reflecting on the moments of this short month gave me insight into why it feels so long, the cold, the stillness, the search for elusive signs of spring. Thank you Lia for your vision and energy to keep us going. Thank you to the community for sharing bits of your lives.
