How Did It Get So Late So Soon?

Deep Freeze

Deep Freeze


This year the Winter Solstice is on Sunday, December 21st. This day has the distinction of being the shortest day of the year and also the longest night of the year. In Wisconsin, once we pass the 21st, we have the pleasure of seeing each day get a bit longer as each night grows a bit shorter. I’m all for that plan.

I have always loved this take on the passing of time by dear Dr. Seuss.

How did it get so late so soon?
It’s night before it’s afternoon.
December is here before it’s June.
My goodness how the time has flewn.
How did it get so late so soon?

Success

By the Riverside

Success – the ability to spend an entire day on the bank of a river without feeling guilty about it. ~ Anon

Thinking about relaxing in that hammock last summer, as the snow falls and the city declares a “snow emergency.” Isn’t it funny that I would rather be successfully swinging in the shade by the riverside than be snow-blowing my driveway?
