The winter solstice is the darkest day, a time of ending and beginning.
Greetings for the holiday season! Merry Christmas, Happy (belated) Hanukkah, Happy Kwanzaa, Happy Festivus! We hope you are enjoying warm, jolly times with family and friends.
Here at In Harmony, we work to connect our practices and our clients’ landscapes with Mother Nature. Given that, we like to pause and acknowledge the winter solstice.
Tomorrow is the darkest day of the year, with the fewest hours of daylight. It is a time to stop and consider the quiet dark and the return of the light, a time of ending and beginning.
Here is an excerpt from a poem by Margaret Atwood.
“…This is the solstice, the still point
of the sun, its cusp and midnight,
the year’s threshold
and unlocking, where the past
lets go of and becomes the future;
the place of caught breath, the door
of a vanished house left ajar…”
― Eating Fire: Selected Poetry 1965-1995
Can you please give me your opinion of using “Moo Do”
For mulching the flower beds and lawn
BURIEN BARK HAS THE PRODUCT 206 242 6567
It’s cow manure mixed with sawdust.
I’m intending to first put down dolimite.my location is Bellevue and I have loamy soil.
Any advise or questions.
Sorry for the delayed response. We have never used Moo Do. We are comfortable with the composted bark we have used for mulching. Dolomite lime is fine to use. This is a good time to put down both lime and mulch. Contact Karrie if you would like to get on our schedule.
Beautiful poem! Thanks for sharing!
Thanks! We’re really glad you like it as much as we do. (Sorry for the delayed response, lots of travel over the holidays.)
