Winter solstice

On the shortest day of the year, we unburied the fire pit and stoked a fire to bring some light into the dark. (The snow finally stopped falling after about a foot. On top of what we already have.)

We stayed warm with sips of Jagermeister from the makeshift bar. No problem keeping it cold here.

And were greeted with some blue skies the next day.

Marking the winter solstice



We marked the shortest day of the year (yesterday) with a fire in the back yard. Looking forward to the days getting longer again.

More about the solstice from National Geographic.
