Winter Solstice

[Lilith Cherry]

Happy Yuletide everyone. Warmest winter greetings! This is the view from the back of my house right now.

[Freedom]

Beautiful! It looks so serene.

Pictures look really great,lots of snow there,where exactly are you in Ontario?

[Asiel]

That looks like the same amount of snow we have. Pretty Pictures.

[Lilith Cherry]

I live in Ste Anne de Prescott, the most Eastern village in Ontario, Barry. It is only a stones throw from Quebec. A very small community with nice neighbours and very peaceful. I love it here among the maple trees and rolling hills.

WoW did someone say let it Snow or what.. Very Cold Loooking && Very Pretty too..

[Lilith Cherry]

Yes it sure does get cold here above the 49th paralell, lol! I am really enjoying seeing all this silver frosting and hoar frost along with all the pretty snow; it is the first winter at home after seven years! We live at the base of the Laurentian Mountains and right next to a provincial park which teems with wildlife even in winter. I am very lucky

[cassiesmom]

[Medusa]

Beautiful! Have a cool Yule!

[lizbud]

Lyrics for a nice Winter Solstice song by Mary Chapin Carpenter:

MARY CHAPIN CARPENTER
"The Longest Night Of The Year"

They say that spring will come again
No one knows exactly when.
Still the sun's a long lost friend
On the longest night of the year.

We stare into the firelight
While December beats outside
Where the darkest hearts reside
On the longest night of the year

So keep me safe and hold me tight
Let the candle burn all night
Tomorrow welcome back the night
It was longest night of the year

I used to think the world was small
Bright and shining like a ball
Seems I don't know much at all
On the longest night of the year

We press our faces to the glass
And see our little lives go past
Wave to shadows that we cast
On the longest night of the year

So keep me safe and hold me tight,
Let the candle burn all night,
Tomorrow welcome back the light.
'Twas the longest night of the year

Make a vow when Solstice comes:
To find the Light in everyone
Keep the faith and bang the drum
On the longest night of the year

So keep me safe and hold me tight,
Let the candle burn all night,
Tomorrow welcome back the light.
'Twas the longest night of the year

So keep me safe and hold me tight,
Let the candle burn all night,
Tomorrow welcome back the light.
After the longest night of the year

It's from her album "Come Darkness, Come Light: Twelve Songs Of Christmas."

The nights are now getting SHORTER!!!!! ..the one and only thing I like about winter.

[Lilith Cherry]
