January

Happy New Year and Happy January! I am just getting ready to print off your phenology wheel. Excited to start this!

I saw on your Instagram that you've been to see Little Women and that you loved it! My thoughts are yours exactly! I was actually afraid to go and see it, as I simply adored the Winona Ryder version. I was so afraid of how this version would compare. I saw online some "trusted" ones who all seemed to love it, so I grabbed 2 of my girls on Monday and we went to see it. LOVED IT. SO MUCH! Best ever!

I also saw your stack of Christmas movies. You have ALL of my favorites on that one little pile of yours. I didn't get through any, really, this year except Christmas Oranges, which just touches me so deeply. We also watched White Christmas after going to the Barter Theater and seeing it on stage.

And lastly. The eggnog you have pictured. I've got it in my fridge now, and your photo was a good reminder that I need to pull it out and get it used. I'm able to buy Homestead's products at our local Earth Fare in Boone. I buy their milk for the kids because well, glass bottles. (When in Charlotte, we were fortunate to have HOME DELIVERY of Homestead's products!). I also buy their cream. It is the BEST, if you make whipped cream or use cream in your coffee. My kids like their lemonade better than any other, so yes, that, too. And their buttermilk. If I ever make a recipe using buttermilk, that's what I buy. It is so amazingly thick!

Hope you are enjoying this first day of the New Year!

Sorry to bother~ I've been searching for the phenology wheel post and related apps you listed and cannot find them anywhere. Will you give me the link? Thanks.

Happy New Year! Here is a link to a blank phenology wheel (not dated), that you can use. I've been having trouble with some of my posts recently, I went to edit some of them and several of them just disappeared after that. I think the phenology wheel may have been among them. I typically make up dated ones, but your comment reminded me I need to make mine for January. If you like the dated ones, I will probably post about them at some point will include a link to them later, but for now the link I am including should get you started!

And here is the link for the colors for the temperature gauge.

Gosh, but I'm sorry to be so needy.

Could you tell me in order what to fill in on the blanks on the chart? From out in, I know it's the day, then the moon phase, then the weather such as cloudy or sunny, I think. But what's after that? Thank you again for your patience.

I don't know how others do it, but this is how I do it. After the moon phase in the first space I draw a little graphic depicting that days weather. In the next space I record the high temperature for the day, in the next space I record the time the sun sets, and in the following space the time the sun rises and then in the last space (closest to the center) I record the low temperature for the day. In the little space at the top (above the moon phase where the days are numbered), I color in that space with the appropriate color that is on the temperature gauge. Let me know if that makes sense. I am going to be working on my wheel for January today and since that post is "out there" somewhere, I'm going to re-write it, so be looking for it. And you are NOT needy! LOL! I love that you are so inspired and I am happy to help!
