    It was soggy here today, complete with flash flooding, but sunshine’s predicted for tomorrow: appropriate for the Solstice!

    Our longest night of the year – the gradual lengthening of the days will be welcome, although the coldest weather of winter is still to come ๐Ÿ™‚

    Thanks, I’m already counting down the days to autumn (92 for those wanting to know). LOL Summer is not my favorite season-it’s too hot for both Wilson and I.

    The -stice part of solstice is related to our native English stand. The solstice is the time when the sun (sol) seems to “stand still,” which is to say get no higher in the warm season or lower in the cold season.
