  1. This means that each day will have more daylight. Now you're talking. Then spring will be here and the world will awaken. My favorite time of the year.

    Have a terrific day honey. Big hugs. ♥♥♥

  2. It's been so cold and dark it's hard to believe winter is just now arriving. I do look forward to longer days.

    Winter solstice never meant much to me, until I realized I'll be driving home in daylight again.

    Have a good weekend!
