RE: Small Seasons

I really loved reading On Small Seasons and Long Calendars this morning. I felt so vindicated! (Seasonality is one of my guiding beliefs.) I second the idea that midwestern winters+summers impose a strong seasonality on local life! A favorite of mine in Chicago is Ice Watch.

Another good example of seasonality-as-guide is my favorite cookbook: Six Seasons by Joshua McFadden (notes). Whenever I’m tired of the same old food I’ll find the current season in there and the flavors are guaranteed to be good.

Two years ago I built little seasons into my site’s pages and this is inspiring me to make them more prominent and specific to me. I’m definitely taking sekki Small Seasons as a new starting point (I love the small site concept and subscribed to the calendar - I always want more things in my calendar).
