I heart winter

This is my Solstice post.  I'm always a little sad when the days start to get longer because it means winter has started to die, and Winter is my favorite season.  I know it will continue to get colder and that winter reaches maximum goodness sometime in February.  But I also know that daylight is what eventually warms things up and kills winter.

Last summer at the other Solstice Nora cheered me up when she pointed out that winter was on the way because the 'days are getting shorter'. So just as in the summer I cheer the beginning of the shorter days so in winter I'm a little sad the days are getting longer.

The seeds of winter's death have been planted.  But in the meanwhile nothing has sprouted and Winter has hardly begun.  There is still most of winter left to enjoy!
