350484 Snow in sunshine here. Crows lining wire with wing, tails spread to fan the glistening white world below. A black dog skips drifts; heels to the heavens. His loftiness lifting spiked ears, full maned fur, hosting crow jet on blank ground-- sounding.

Any of these books below would be fantastic gifts for wintering:

Sister Nations: Native American Women Writers On Community (Native Voices) Edited by Heid E. Erdrich and Laura Tohe

The Mother's Tongue(Earthworks S.)
by Heid E. Erdrich

Fishing for Myth: Poems by Heid E. Erdrich

I recommend!
