Winter Solstice

Winter Solstice today & it feels like spring here.  The windows are open & laundry drying outside (I've been living sans dryer since August, by choice).  
Levi & Joe are using the straw rake on the back of the lawnmower & gathering piles & piles of pine straw.  We'll use it to keep all the landscaped beds around the house looking fresh.  
We're having a party here tomorrow for Joe's family & are expecting 17 total - so some of today will be about getting ready.
Indi is using clay on the backporch & has created pages of hand and foot prints.
Tonight will be a fire & stouts.  We're burning a brush pile over one year in the making.  Maybe we'll stay out late enough to watch this waning moon rise.
