When the solstice (or any special holiday or event) arrives, burn the wishes (read them all again is an option or not) .. <br /><br />Thanks for hosting.

I have been getting up quite early and in the dark, but it has been hunting season here so I've been a bit afraid to go outside then--AND it's been pretty cold. <br /><br />Thanks for the pics. I am afraid I am maybe stretching the Toads' lenience today with a post that's not really a poem. But it is not long. Thanks. k.

Going up before sunrise is not hard at all here, and even easier to be awake at sunset.<br />Today the sunrise is 8:29 and sunset is 2:49 PM... So just a little darker before it turn lighter. Alas I think I will have to invent traditions.. Christianity exterminated all traditions (mostly related to blood) 1000 years ago. Fruitpeels sounds like a good idea.<br />brudberghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12563403553536472377noreply@blogger.com
