Winter Solstice Yule 2011

The Solstice sunrise heralds the lengthening days


and the longest night's clouds scatter


offering, in their passing, a transient window blessing



Many original Yuletide decorations grace our home
Foggy, Jamie and I made this revolving and annually evolving mobile 


and my sister, Sheila made the beaded snowflake


Victor consents to join us for the party!


The holly and the ivy
and Foggy's Christmas candle lights 


 Ficus has a festive dressing


I love this year's mistletoe mobile...


A bit of bling with senti-ments gathered over the years 


we feasted, laughed and drank
raised our glasses to absent friends
ate homemade pizza
played music
told stories
passed a Wassail cup
re-lit last year's Yule log and lit the next
burnt our holly sprigs with all last year's trouble
and crowned the Yule Jester, Bob


What a lovely time of year for parties, family and friends
for remembering and reflecting
 planning and dreaming 

Be your dreams


Solstice blessings to you all

Love and Light

Lindsey
