Thank you so very much @Tara Penry! I really appreciate you including my post in your wonderful Peacelinks roundup! I'm so happy to know you enjoy my photos!
This issue of PeaceLinks is chock full of goodness, thank you Tara. I appreciate being included and look forward to diving into the other pieces you showcased. You are right that Chris wins the title of the week, I love it!!
I thought of you right away when I saw that title! 😂 I loved putting this issue together, and your change series was a natural fit with lightening the load.
On this evening of literal and literary snowloads, I am listening to big piles slide off the roof from time to time as I write. The house feels lighter than it did. We got dumped on this week with well over a couple feet of the white stuff in addition to the earlier accumulation. A few roads avalanched shut, including ours, so we do not trouble ourselves fighting the snow. Then the power went off along with all the tiny blue, green, and red lights we moderns accumulate, and the house is silent. So silent I can hear the slow, relaxed beating of my heart. I let Doggo outside just before dark and she bounded across the meadow, half mule deer, half snow missile, and half icebreaker with her nose dipping in the snowy sea and making a bow wake.
The world becomes smaller and closed in on an evening such as this, and is much easier to fill with contentment. I will sit here near the fire until the orange glow dims and savor this spiced apple cider happiness. At least one little corner of the world is filled with peace tonight and I am blessed to wrap it around me like a quilt.
Gorgeous, Switter, gorgeous. I will take my rest with visions of sugarplums and Doggo the snow missile dancing in my head. I can almost hear the schluff of snow slides off the roof. Thank you. Peaceful slumber.

What a beautiful round up, thank you!
Thank you, Sydney. Your remarkable snowflake close-ups fit right in here, too: https://open.substack.com/pub/sydneymichalski/p/first-snowfall?r=1mk0zn&utm_medium=ios&utm_campaign=post
Thank you! We live in Maine - I’m a big fan of winter 💕(thank goodness 😂)
Haha! Tag me with any moose photos. I love them ... from a distance. :-)

Thanks Tara, I can especially relate to Rosecrans Baldwin's quote about how much more we appreciate light (literally and figuratively) in the winter.
Me too! I can feel the long, cold distance of it.
Thank you for spreading goodness.
Ditto! And 🙏🏼 for the Restack. :-)
Lovely post - I love the idea of a 'snow load' (and lightening it). Thanks for the mention!
Thank you, Kate. You see how your not-to-do list was right in the spirit of my thinking, too. :-)
