Happy Solstice, Y'all.

Happy official first day of Winter, and happy return of the sun, and Happy Lughnassad, and happy other spinning of the year stuff.  :)

The shoe is buried, and the snow is falling again.  Oi.  And it is minus 5 celcius.

The snow keeps falling.

I'm not sure we're going to get to the lantern procession.  It is like walking on very loose sand at the beach out there - I did mention that we do not shovel or plow here, right? because it is going to melt any minute, right?
