The Stillness of Winter
Book Feature - The Stillness of Winter by Barbara Mahany
HBL Note: Are you a summer person or a winter person? I’m definitely more of a summer person (if I’m being totally honest, I’m a fair-weather person…I complain about the heat and the cold. I should probably just move to Hawaii where the weather is always perfect.) I digress. Usually I dread winter because I like to get out and be moving all the time and the harsh winter weather does not allow for that. But this year I find myself looking forward to the winter season, in part because we will get to move back into our home this winter and in part because COVID social distancing guidelines work better with cozy winter months which call for hunkering down at home in front of the fireplace. All of this to say, The Stillness of Winter by Barbara Mahany is written to help us celebrate the winter season and find joy in the short, cold days.

From the publisher:
Winter is the coldest time of the year. The days are shorter, and the nights are longer. Deciduous trees are bare of leaves, and some animals hibernate. Christmas is celebrated, one year comes to an end, and a new year begins.
In The Stillness of Winter, nationally known journalist and author Barbara Mahany unfurls month by month the winter season exploring the natural world to find the holy within and the holy all around during this sacred season. Expanding on content from Barbara’s book Slowing Time, this beautiful two-color gift book is part almanac, scrapbook, field notes, and recipe box, showing readers how to experience the winter world around them with joy and curiosity.
