Winter Solstice


The day passed fairly quickly if you mark the daylight hours as a day. Sunrise to sunset occurred today without much fanfare, the cloudy skies hid the sun from our view, and no stars shine tonight upon Anchor-town. Jupiter and Saturn put on their show for others but not us. 

Winter solstice marks the line in the snow where the last of the dark days lay only yards ahead, and our push towards spring is a doable reality. Soon I will take a deep breath. Soon I will feel relief.

The clock chimes the hour and the quarter hour, I am keeping track biding my time.
