Welcome to Litsy!

#DashingThruDecember Day 20: In this illustrated version of e. e. Cummings‘ poem, two siblings celebrate the joy of #WhiteChristmas. My fave lines from the poem:

and i‘ll give them all to you to hold
every finger shall have its ring
and there won‘t be a single place dark or unhappy”

This book - a set of vignettes about tree lovers - is delightful

If you love flowers and want to grow them (or like me, just look at pretty pictures of them) this book is for you. It‘s a sumptuous #ChronicleBooks publication.

Erin is a nerd at heart — her first autumn task is to take notes! That‘s why her books and videos appeal to the #armchairgardener in me. Plus, the abundance of beauty!

For a treat, I recommend the Floret Farm Journal on YouTube: https://youtube.com/playlist?list=PLORP5H1hcHLncqPYJkIErSCRFn9Vn0Tp3&si=cO_LUrSA...

I am an #armchairgardener — I fell in love with #FloretFarm from watching their series #GrowingFloret. Erin has gorgeous books and Floret maintains a YouTube channel with beautiful videos chock full of flowers, seeds, trees, and beauty. 🙌🏼🙌🏼🙌🏼
