At the moment this post appears—9:03 Chicago time—winter has arrived in the Northern Hemisphere. Time to celebrate Yule!
In Chicago, however, it feels as if winter has been her for several weeks. The good news is that the days will begin getting longer.
Happy Winter! It’s a blustery 67 here, with no precipitation in sight. When I lived up north, and we had a mild day in the winter, my dad would always say that that put us one day closer to summer.
6?… 7?…
Imagine the axis of the Earth, the Earth ripping around that corner of its orbit, and the consequences thereof…
Merry Solstice!!
Here in the Pacific Northwest, too!
The days are again getting longer. We’re over the hump and on our way toward spring!
