The Days Are Getting Longer

[poliphilo]

As Ailz just said, "Oh good, it's the solstice". Once upon a time we'd have celebrated with elderberry wine and sky-clad ritual.  Not any longer. Today a sigh of relief will have to do.  We're into the light half of the year, the days are getting longer. Yay!

Actually- now I think about it- we will be doing a ritual today. Not skyclad. And there won't be any elderberry wine. We're going to a funeral. If I were running the thing (which I'm happy to say I'm not) I think I'd work the solstice into my address.

I am sooooo grateful. We have a similar climate and day length this time of year--- lucky if we have 8 1/2 hours of daylight (cloudy days make it even shorter). I woke up first thing this morning and looked at the sky from my bed. I thought the very same thing-- oh good, it's the solstice.

It was very cold last night. Cold and clear. Really lovely. But it rained in the night and we're back to normal, grey, damp, December weather.
