My clock has finally passed midnight and the Winter Solstice has now begun. Short on daylight, I hope the day will be long on happiness. For those who observe the solstice, I wish you a time of peace and of joyous new beginnings.



“We are nearer to Spring
Than we were in September,”
I heard a bird sing
In the dark of December.
Oliver Herford (1863 - 1935)
