We Ride Around the Sun

December's dusk lasts but a moment -- Darnkness arrives so very quickly.

Wool and down keep us warm, but our breath still steams into the night sky, disappearing as quickly as did the daylight.

Fear not, however, for the Solstice is near, and daylight will stretch longer again. Today the sun lay low on the southern horizon. Soon it will climb higher and higher and nature will respond with flowers galore in Spring.

What an amazing ride we enjoy as we circle the sun.
