I like your work and you asked for a reading recommendation. I like the old broken gate and the simplicity of the seal in the water. But my favorite of those pieces you posted would have to be the one of the winter campfire. So, here is my recommendation, read the short story To Build A Fire by Jack London. Very intense and it's got one heck of an ending to it. If you have kids anywhere around make sure they read it. In the end, it is all about the know-it-all. Kids don't learn much about that nowadays - TIk Tok has taken over. Anyhow, I immediately thought of that story when I saw that fire. It got Jack London rolling through my brain - read Call of The Wild also. He really nails the harsh reality of nature. Also, The Sea Wolf was one heck of a good read. They also made a great movie out of it starring Charles Bronson and Christopher Reeves. But please, read the book first and then watch the movie. Both are fantastic. Take good and good luck with your kitchen. Make sure your husband doesn't muck up his back. Hasta.
Thank you Greta! So glad to have met you here on Substack. I look forward to more of your posts and notes and will certainly look up the book you recommended. Thanks again.
