I‘m rereading Smith‘s seasonal quartet this year in order of the seasons. Given that we‘re back in a world similar to the one that existed when she started publishing these, it felt poignant to finish Winter today. Art can help lead us through the darkness and give us hope. 🩵

1. Taking rain walks with my daughter.
2. Lovely book of poems, with pictures based on the editor and illustrator and their family. I'm sad to learn Rogasky died in 2011.

1️⃣ That it gets cooler here, although it‘s been slower to get there this year. (I thought it might be me getting older & “running hotter”😅 but everyone I know feels it‘s a warmer year. Darn global warning. 😡
2️⃣ A favorite childhood classic never fails to make it feel like winter! ❄️🩵❄️
Anyone else want to join in? Consider yourself tagged! 😘
pickThis is the extraordinary true story of a woman who joins her husband in the Arctic and lives in a primitive hut for a year, absolutely falling in love with the polar region and with the wild lifestyle. She has such an engaging personality and writing style. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
