It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas....from about knee-high up. We had fog and cooler weather overnight so all the trees are covered with beautiful white frosting this morning. It makes a nice contrast to all the brown mud and semi-green grass bellow.
Thanks to Chris / CopCarSS for my avatar.
The TV weather people out here reported a 0% chance of a white Christmas for us. It should be interesting to see what sort of outdoor activity the youngsters and middle-agers have in mind after Christmas dinner.
Rained here off and on all day. Still misting.
The pup is settling in pretty well. She isn't really a lap dog - she doesn't get that privilege at home.
Looking forward to a few days with nothing major on the agenda.

Norris, I believe the actual time of the solstice isaround 10:45 this evening (10:39 or 10:49...can't remember). Central time.You'll quite often get a calendar that has the wrong dates for moon phases, too, and probably for the same reason--they were published in a different time zone, or used programs produced in a different time zone. In the GMT zone (London, etc.), it will be the 22nd when the solstice occurs.My train-watching trip for today was cancelled...too wet and rainy. Tomorrow there won't be any rain, but there may no longer be the need for a trip. My wife apparently accmplished her secret mission while I (gasp!) took a nap this afternoon.

My calendar shows the 2nd- tomorrow as being the first day of winter. Wouldn't that be the shortest day?
And tomorrow the days start getting longer. (Daylight that is.)
