Linda your photos are stunning! Ex extravert turned introvert friend here who loves solitude with my dog. I think I'd enjoy the Cape. Lol. Your words are encouraging today.
Thanks bunches for sharing this with Sweet Tea & Friends this month dear friend.
Lots of links to explore here! And I love your lovely photos! As I get older, the less I like winter. A get-a-way helps to break the cold, but so does seeing the beauty of other places. Thanks for sharing the beauty of your place!
It has been cold here Linda but not as cold as you have it (least I don't think so). We have hovering around 0 in the morning and turning up the heat wave in the afternoon to the teens and low 20s. Least it feels like a heat wave. Love your pictures though (just not the cold). Stay warm.
It's cold here in Michigan too and I'm doing all the right things to stay cozy and connected. I love your photos -- you've such a lovely eye for a good photo.
The photos are beautiful! It has been very cold here too. As always this is a great selection of links and resources, and I agree, it is very important to get out and connect with others instead of isolating ourselves.
It is super cold here (Ohio) today too. We are getting anywhere from 4-12 inches of snow this weekend...it's been snowing nonstop all day, at times heavier than others. I LOVE the peacefulness of the snow falling. Stay warm :)
Yes, that was my plan, but my seven and nine year old had other plans! Heading out now to go sledding with them - but will return to the couch as soon as I can!
Love the blue light of winter and even the stark loneliness, which is somehow quite beautiful. Thanks for the link to Erin Loechner, I will enjoy reading her work! Stay warm, friend!
I always appreciate our porch time, Linda, even if we have to move inside to stay warm! Thank you for the book recommendations; I found several gems.
Oh I'm glad you found some good stuff, Lisa. I've got a huge February Bookbag coming on Thursday I think you might like!
Awesome! I look forward to seeing the books you recommend.

From one introvert to another, thank you. I hope you've enjoyed a cozy weekend, friend. See you at Book Club!
I love your photos of a winter beach home. The ocean has always been my restoration place.
A restoration place. I love the way you put that, Lisa. Happy Friday to you wherever you are!

The beauty of other places is a gift you've given to us over and over, Lynn. You know I'm a fan ...

Such beautiful photos of nature. Winter is sure quiet. My son came in from outside yesterday and said "It sure is quiet outside".
Yeah, I love that ...
Well, truth of a fun life.
Swimming, swimming, keep on swimming
through the winter to the sun.
Even though the light is dimming,
chilly weather can be fun.
Snowball fights and nude ice fishing
(please don't look, there's naught to see),
polar bears will have you wishing
you were fit enough to flee.
Icy sidewalks, icy street,
car slides sideways, bing bang boom!
Walking home on frozen feet
contemplating coming doom
when dear wife learns her muscle car
now sits in yonder wrecker's yard.
Brrrr ......

I'm craving a long walk in the fresh air. Hopefully this week. Opening the window or stepping outside for a few minutes isn't doing it for me.
Your photos refresh my soul, Linda. They remind me our Creator is always in charge. Thank you. Love and blessings to you!
Oh that's a good word for us all this weekend, Trudy - our Creator is always in charge.
Amen!
I highly recommend "Holy Hygge" (HYOO-guh): Creating a Place for People.to Gather and Grow the Gospel by Jamie Erickson!!!
I just heard about that book this week, Muriel! Thanks for the nudge to check it out. Stay warm and cozy, friend.
Its warm here in FL!!

Jeanie, thanks! My ol' Android has been good company along the way.

I hope you found something that hit home for you, friend ... have a great weekend.
It looks so beautiful though! :)
Exactly.

Sounds like excellent book reading weather!
That photo is beautiful--haunting, indeed.
Yes, yes.
Perfect post for today. Read it while watching the snow (3-4 inches?) fall outside!
Christine, yes please to staying home all day. Reading and writing and calming glances at the gently falling snow. Bliss.
Yes, that was my plan, but my seven and nine year old had other plans! Heading out now to go sledding with them - but will return to the couch as soon as I can!
Good mama!

I don't see much of her writing around these days, but I always appreciate the fresh, unique angle she provides
