Approaching Winter Solstice

http://www.stemjobs.com/winter-solstice/

As our days grow darker and darker, I get more and more excited for December 21st to arrive!  I am a fan of weather, seasons and the rhythms of life.  Who knows why, it is just something I like and look forward to each year, each season . . . I swear I am a Druid at heart!  (Catholic conservative mother would just die!)

Out here we celebrate the Solstice with a bonfire, hot chocolate, hot cider and a ski with about 40-50 kids all with headlamps on! I will do a follow-up post with photos of this year's event.

This photo I have used for the Winter Solstice before on the blog. I like the mittens, pine trees covered in snow, and the glow of sunshine to come!

Happy & Merry Winter Solstice to all!
