I eagerly await the date and hour when I am assured the days will begin to gain in sunlight once again. Alas, just when I should rejoice in the celebration on Midsummer, I get bummed out because the days are growing shorter.
I can well understand the relief and celebration of primitive people when the days began growing longer. I can't imagine sitting in a dark longhouse by the fire because it was dark for 18 hours a day, and freezing cold outdoors when it was light. Talk about "cabin fever"!
On a completely different subject, these guys gather together to celebrate and decorate a corner during the holidays. One of them survived Good Guy's childhood and is in the same state as the Velveteen Rabbit. Isn't he so bald and sweet?
Well, today is a baking day which precedes a Swedish meatball making day. We're down to the wire, folks! Happy preparations!
The little bear with the green shirt, red scarf, and red mittens??? I HAVE that same bear! Since seeing yours, I got mine out for the duration of the holiday season!
ReplyDeleteI really don't know if I could handle being in the cold and snow without internet and movies/tv. I remember being so sad going to work in the dark and coming home in the dark.
ReplyDeleteLove the bears :) You make meatballs? oh yummy!

One more week of tolerating the snow cover (through New Years Day) then its a wish for melt, melt, melt. On to warmer days ahead.
