Solstice Greetings! Yay sun! Yay Mother Earth swinging her hips!

I still miss Dicken sometimes.

I have primula blooming in the greenhouse, gerbera too. Some pelargoniums, and a verbena. The branches on the maple tree over the chicken coop are pregnant with swollen buds, they'll be one of the first to bloom this spring and I've looked for an noticed them for many, many years.

Even though the day started with snow, and the heavens hung overhead steely grey and low, I drove home from town in LIGHT at five p.m. I can look forward to more and more days like that flying at us like that. Winter begins, but spring follows. Nice.

Why do I always think winter and summer solostic go together with runes? Must have to do with the times Lilo and I grew up in, LOL.

Happy Winter Soltice to all. I'm so happy to go toward longer days and the sun's uv rays being higher than 3 of 16 so I can synthesize the uv's to vitamin D without having to take suppliments.
I'm also happy that the sun will go higher and higher so it can reach over my garden fence and warm the earth for spring planting and later give me 6 to 8 hours of sun to grow my veggies.

I've never attached any mystic to the sun.

My 2nd favorite day of my least favorite month! Happy, happy...

I miss him too, Marda. He was a love.

And on the other side of the fence---I also miss Rev!

Look for bug food......

I thought you meant, look for bug "food", not the screen name. HA! I remember good as gold, painted blue Dicken, but it's been so long, I have no idea what solstice has to do with him? Is that when he drank his madeira?
