the long winter

You would barely know it was winter by the weather here in so cal (um, it is supposed to warm up this week?! What?!) but that isn’t stopping me from pulling out a long time favorite read, The Long Winter.  I have read it multiple times, and each time I find myself wishing I lived in the period of Little House on the Prairie. Little girls who had a strong work ethic but still wore dresses all the time? Yes please!
