Happy Solstice, Happy New Year!

There are so many things I could say about the past year.  But for tonight, I wish to look ahead, not on the past.  I'll leave that for another time.  Perhaps when we can turn the page on our calendar and mark that new year.  It was a gorgeous last day of autumn.  Sunny.  Warm.  It has looked like winter for weeks.  A walk was due and taken.  At sunset, I stood outdoors and watched the sun go down, so early here as it drops behind the hills.  This is the night that all others are based on. The return of the light.  My candles are lit.

    Well said, you!
    And your image is perfect. I always feel like I’m climbing a mountain to get to the shortest day of the year! Looking forward to the return of the light!
    Happy Solstice, Happy New Year to you!

    Judy-
    Though we do not have the snow, we have spectacular sunsets here on the edge of the Marshall Wildlife Refuge. Yes, this past year hangs heavy in the air. Often hard to look forward, unless you see inside it all, as framed in your snow and candlelight posting. Happy New Year!

  6. Lovely. Same with the tree and knitting in previous post.
