Nothing there is that does not love the sun. It gives us warmth and life; it melts the bitter snow and ice of winter; it makes plants grow and flowers bloom. It gives us the long summer evenings, when darkness never comes. It saves us from the bitter days of midwinter, when the darkness is broken only for a handful of hours and the sun is cold and distant, like the pale eye of a corpse.

Welcome back lengthening daylight!
Happy Solstice, my friend! ♡
Happy Solstice!
Happy Solstice & Happy Hanukkah, Susan! ♡
Sooooooo glad the sun is on its way to brighten our day longer and warmer. Smiling at the quote – pure Neil Gaiman.
It’s amazing how another minute or two of sunshine a day can make us feel. Sunny days in January dazzle and sparkle! ♡
Yes they do, and I’m looking forward to those days as I look out my window at the rain/snow/sleet/ice coming down. ;-0 🙂
Sounds like a good day to curl up with a book. 🙂 We’re getting strong winds and rain but I am hearing reports about all the freezing stuff you folks up north and inland are getting. Brighter days will come!
