the cold moon...

We have entered the micro-season of “The Sky is Cold, Winter Comes”. This is the first micro-season of the mini-season Major Snow. The micro-seasons within Major Snow are:
The Sky is Cold, Winter Comes (Dec.07 -Dec. 11)
The Bear Retreats to its Den (Dec. 12 -Dec 16)
The Salmon Gather to Spawn (Dec. 17 -Dec 21)
In our most recent blog post, we learn about how the Earth’s orbit around the Sun impacts our temperatures and then read haiku by Buson, Issa, Basho, Taigi, and Toshimi.
Read the full story and some of the great haiku written by our readers on our blog!
