    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.

    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

    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.
    I meant," said Ipslore bitterly, "what is there in this world that truly makes living worthwhile?"
    Death thought about it.
    CATS, he said eventually. CATS ARE NICE.

    -- Terry Pratchett (1948—2015), Sourcery
