According to Wikipedia, the winter solstice, also called the hibernal solstice, occurs when either of Earth’s poles reaches its maximum tilt away from the Sun. This happens twice yearly, once in each hemisphere. It’s also a day to welcome the beginning of winter. Stay warm everyone!
Snoopy and Woodstock might be enjoying Summer but I am not a fan. It’s too damn hot and it’s just getting started. Of course, I am salty because my car’s air conditioning doesn’t work so driving around isn’t comfy. However, I do work in an air-conditioned office. Also, I don’t like to sweat all that much, and where I live it’s also humid and sticky. Ick. Can we speed through to fall? If you are a fan of Summer, enjoy.
I love Fall/Autumn. The changing of the colors of trees, the coolness of the air (sometimes), and it’s just cozy. I think life slows down in some ways but picks up in others. Fall/Autumn is the season of hugs, hayrides, and pumpkin spice lattes for those who enjoy that. Also, it’s the season of Halloween and Thanksgiving, and I haven’t forgotten those noble holidays that are all about candy and turkey. I await Fall/Autumn even though it isn’t technically Summer yet.
Spring 2024 arrives officially as of March 19, 2024, at 11:06 pm Eastern Daylight Time. However, in some places, the temperatures are still very chilly. Don’t think winter’s weather can’t make a comeback because it can. Let’s hope that Groundhog was right. Happy Spring good people, enjoy the season.
Today is Winter Solstice which is the shortest day of the year. There will be festivals, singing, dancing, and other fun stuff. Days will be getting longer from here on out. Let’s have a great winter.
