The sun has ranged to the southern end of its journey along our horizon... tomorrow it will rise just a little earlier and just a hair to the west . . . the beginning of a six month journey . . .
Summer solstice will find the sun rising just behind those trees on the left . . .
it's a long way to go...
So in this dark season we deck the house with lights and evergreens and red ....
a potent charm against the long nights and sometimes gloomy days..
And a little hard cider doesn't hurt . . .
