Solstice

I think I blog about this every year but I can't help myself.  I am a true Albertan.  I grew up in this amazing place and love being outside.  Love being in the mountains, on the lakes and on the prairies.

However and this is a big however, I really don't like the cold and dark much any more.  That is why Dec 21 is a great day in this cold dark winter.  It is the the day where our days begin to get longer again.  The promise of spring, warm weather and new growth.  The winter solstice.

Even in the cold spells of January and February I know the days are getting longer.  It makes it much more bearable.

Anyway enough complaining of the cold.  We maybe not because it is really cold today, but tomorrow?  We will see.
