nwhikerLet's face it, none of my two readers are in the Southern Hemisphere, so eh, it's going to be a Northern-centric post! š¤£
I wrote this a few years ago, I love this time of year, and I know I'm in the minority. I love the dark [...], I love the early early early sunsets and the late sunrises. I love how short the days are and how precious the light. Needless to say I am absolutely fucking horrified at the idea of permanent daylight savings times. I wept real tears when Congress extended that damn invention, ruining Halloween, and shortening this period of dark, so I'll be extremely depressed if they impose it on us year 'round. I like DST plenty fine in the summer, when it's not dark until almost 10pm, but I don't want it in the winter... actually, I'd be happiest on ST year around, it's closer to the sun and it still holds true, even as I spend more time inside than I'd like.
It's our anniversary and I was hoping to get out on a short hike, but with everything we have to do this weekend, I think I'll try to get as much stuff done today as possible and go on a hike tomorrow if time permits, hoping to reduce stress.
Happy Anniversary,camelsamba! Someone said on bluesky that what you did on the solstice, you didn't have to do again, and that makes it a spectacular day to get married, right?
The darkest days are over at least from a nature standpoint, for this year!
Happy Solstice, Happy Yule, and welcome back light!
