Of course this information only applies to the northern hemisphere of our earth. I've
already performed my monthly ritual of The Changing Of The Calendar Page that I
display on my cork board. I always like to know where I am in space and time!

4. My only "Martha Stewart" impulse is that I do seasonal wreaths on my front door.

The autumn one is my favorite because it makes me think of the hilarious McSweeney's gourd essay. The piece makes me laugh every time I read it but I have come to realize that others find it too crass because of the cursing. So if you are interested, be forewarned and enjoy.

Nice recipes in the Almanac, by the way! I'm going to do up a cup of the pumpkin spice and dust it on my gourds!
