10-354 (21/12/23) -- Changing Light

Well there was another Thursday storm. Ice disguised as snow on the front porch refused to be moved when I tried to shovel a clearing around the door. Yuck. It is still snowing and wind gusting outside my windows. I wasn't to be a huge accumulation, but that may change. We'll see what the morning brings. 

Today marked the winter solstice. It is a day to celebrate. From now on, there will be more daylight. Today was the shortest daylight hours of the year. Though, with the dark grey snow clouds the day wasn't very bright. It seemed to accentuate the darkness of the day seemed. Even a minute or two increase in the hours of light brings hope. Some people enjoy the darkness of this time of year, while others enjoy more sunlight. The continuing rhythm of changing seasons provides a sense of comfort. Happy Solstice!

The song for today celebrates the solstice by a prog rock band from the UK. Keep safe. Enjoy!
