“And what does January hold? Clean account books. Bare diaries. Three hundred and sixty-five new days, neatly parceled into weeks, months, seasons.  A chunk of time, of life, waiting to be filled…those first notes like an orchestra tuning up before the play begins!” — Phyllis Nicholson

 

• “At Christmas, play and make good cheer, for Christmas comes but once a year.” — Thomas Tusser

 

"Gratitude is the fairest blossom which springs from the soul." - Henry Ward Beecher 

Please note: November's "Dance With Me" Storytime has been moved up a week.

 "In November, people are good to each other. They carry pies to each other's homes and talk by crackling woodstoves, sipping mellow cider. They travel very far on a special November day just to share a meal with one another and to give thanks for their many blessings — for the food on their tables and the babies in their arms."

—In November by Cynthia Rylant
