Beautiful and Useful
I normally buy the Farmer's Almanac Gardening calendar, but this year I decided to try something else, for a change of pace. I picked the calendar out of the box and saw right away that it was printed on good quality paper. I went through every month to see what the calendar offers (I usually try to wait, but I never learned to be patient!) Each month features a vibrant seasonal photograph of a food item, and I can't resist; I love food. In the top right side of the calendar is a portion that has a different way to improve your life for each month. For example, in January, it reads, "Joy in January." (for the sake of brevity, I won't list the entire contents, there is a lot.) It speaks of finding happiness despite the frigid temperatures and desolate winter weather. Below this is a smaller portion that tells you about a healthy food(s). For January, it is citrus fruit. Under this is a recipe. The recipes are not just thrown together. You'll notice this right away, just at a glance.
The pictures are beautiful and appropriately chosen.
I was surprised that others had not reviewed this treat of a calendar. It is truly a well-kept secret. I wish I knew about it sooner, because I would have started buying it years ago.
