The shortest day of the year.. that means, for all you daylight deprived, it is all up hill from here. The solstice is officially tonight, December 22nd at 1:08 am. I don’t plan on staying awake to mark the occasion. Tomorrow is soon enough. All the snow this year has kept the landscape bright enough with reflected light that the dark days didn’t feel quite so dark. For me, anyway. Tonight, it will be enough for me to light a candle and contemplate the new. * The all night fire can wait for the New Year.
I’ve lit another kind of fire. Out of the Ball and Skein stash, came the last skein of Ember sock yarn.
* Cate says all of this so beautifully, go over and read her post.

A yarn after my own heart.
I love the picture in your banner! Guard llama is so proud of his/her flock! Are they your animals?
Yum! That’s a nice woolly sort of yule log. Merry solstice!
