I gave up publishing my writing on Substack, even though the referral system there increased my readership. I moved everything to my own website - My "reach" is smaller, but "reach" has never been the most important thing to me.

Oh, this makes me sad: For Friends and Quaker-ish folk: a severe thunderstorm with hail and winds over 50 miles per hour struck Pendle Hill at full force. Over 25 trees have fallen, blocking roads and trails across the property, and causing significant damage to 6 of our historic buildings.
