****
I adore this annual event designed to love the snowy winter! I’d stop by if I were still in Chicago, however I’m on a ‘Writer in Residence expedition,’ and am presently in Topeka Kansas. We have lots of snow here after a major storm. For info on the “Jacquée T. Writer in Residence actual and virtual expedition,” check out the “Writer in Residence” and “Vignettes” menus above.

And, wherever you are this winter, I encourage you to get out and play!
