Stories about real people in the context of their place and time in history - and a great inspiration for telling your own story.
Lia’s Living Almanac is a weekly community post, when she writes about something seasonal, and her readers can write in the comments about their own seasonal observations. At the end of the month Lia stitch’s them all together to make up a picture of the month just past. As she says, “it is made of simple things but always ends up more than the sum of its parts” and is a great way to pay more notice to the natural world around us. Lia also hosts a fun Substack Chat for seasonal photos.
