Winter Solstice is here!

Dark. Darkness. Darkest day of the year.

Sunset at 4:24 pm today. 

The winter solstice.

Short days, long nights. 

But summer will eventually be here, and along with it will come the busy growing season, with hours and hours of sunlight.

I know this, because it's right around now that the seed magazines arrive in our mailbox, covered in snow and ice.  This garden guide came this week. 


 
 
Until the spring arrives, we continue with our hibernation.  And pick out seeds for our dream garden.

Pickle finds comfort doing art by the warm heat vent, drawing up his plans for the treehouse he wants the farmer (and his Papa) to build this summer.  Guess even the little ones dream of warmth and light...

 
Guess who is behind the chair?

 

 

I hope this time of solitude and darkness gives you time to dream of lovely and exciting things to come in 2017!
