I am writing this on the winter solstice, the shortest day of the year. As they pine for those long summer days, everyone says “it gets better from here on.” I truly love this time of year because it is so cozy and restful. It’s as if nature is taking a well-deserved break, so we can too.
The woods are beautiful in winter, especially when there’s snow. And there’s the added bonus of animal tracks. I think it’s going to be another green Christmas in Rhode Island, unfortunately.
I’ll be taking a couple of weeks off from the blog, but I wanted to wish everyone a Merry Christmas and a peaceful, restorative holiday. See you in January, and thanks for reading.

Merry Christmas to you, CJ. I am assuming you’ll be having a green one, too.

Yes, the peaceful quiet moments. Will take your lead and gaze meditatively on our little Christmas tree and take a quiet walk through the woods with all senses alert – wondering if that bear will hibernate! A joyous Christmas to you!

And to you, Lesley! The bear appears to have moved on, and I hope he is now in peaceful hibernation.
