So much fun sledding in our first real snow! This photo was taken seconds before I ran full-speed into one of the heirloom apple trees 😂
Five generations (so far) of sledding down between the same apple trees.

@kscottfranklin @letgothegoat @EkstasisMag Congratulations! Very moving, and the double entendre on "shell stations" packs a punch at the end

@raagatodi Love this! Growing up in Ontario, Wiarton Willie was my weather prognosticating rodent. Nice to compare their little movements and plan accordingly ;)

@BoMandeville @adroitjournal @wwnorton @LiverightPub I’m amazed you can trace a family line definitively back to 1066!

In an era of hyperbolically glowing reviews, it can be jarring (yet also refreshing and necessary) to read a review of your book which discusses its weaknesses as much as its strengths. We all need this! Many thanks to @newversereview and @MaryannCorbett

@BoMandeville @adroitjournal @wwnorton @LiverightPub Keep me posted on your project; it sounds fascinating! As I've translated some Norse verse about England, it's definitely made me consider my own Scandinavian ancestors and their migrations
