The days won't be getting any shorter now, and before long we'll be able to tell that they're lengthening, at least up here in the northern hemisphere. Of course, it's the first day of winter, and January and February are typically our coldest months. So there's still that to look forward to.

Today is predicted to be wet and warm. Ken said it was already raining when he got up. It's my morning to walk the dog, so I may have to go out in it, unless we have a break right around sunrise. And, since it got more and more overcast through the night, there was no opportunity to see Saturn and Jupiter shaking hands. Except for the Google Doodle.
For the last few Winters our most sustained cold periods have all, or mostly, been pre-Xmas - so yours too, I imagine. I see that we/you are expected to get a freezing Arctic blast on Thurs and for some days after, but I'm trusting it won't be so prolonged as to pile further onto the current Covid miseries we're all now experiencing.
ReplyDeleteAs much as you're able to, do have a nice - and safe - Xmas, all of you, doggie included. Something to lighten the darkness as we await the nights to noticeable shorten.
Ah well, we're still hovering at a 1 percent chance of rain. The sun is shining. A nice place to walk Tasha. I love gargoyles.
ReplyDeleteOhhh, I was thinking that was tonight, because... 21st. But, I didn't think about midnight.
