Winter solstice 2019 in Northern Hemisphere will be at 8:19 PM on


Saturday, December 21


All times are in Pacific Standard Time.

Our pagan holiday celebration is coming! Let the darkness recede!

The solstice is almost here, we can feel it! How about you?

I need to grab a couple of crystals to focus the extra photons.

It was VERY windy, out of the south to SSE, for my drive from Bend to Redding today. Glad I was driving my low little car instead of the tall truck-with-camper.

Solstice sweethearts... In my yard this morning. (fone fotos)





Mr Buck says to me, “Get outta here, dude, she's skittish enough without you spooking her!"

 

[ski3pin]

Love on the solstice! Pretty darn cool, Mr. BC.

Chanting was heard in our neighborhood last night. We have happily turned the corner into the light.

We had a Hilltown bonfire and potluck at a nearby farm. A good excuse too burn all the shred-able paper too!

More people are showing up to the solstice party every year.
They had a nice not very loud get together.
Next year they might have to find a larger venue.
Happy winter

It's snowing and blowing big flake-conglomerates here in Bend... conglomerates because it's 37°F and wet flakes stick together. Blowing hard enough that trees are swaying.

It has been warm and mostly dry here with small storms brushing by. Thursday evening gave us a foot of snow. The snow pack at the pass levels look low for the season.

warm? OMG, it has been cold here = 35*C, and -29 during the day. Warming up tomorrow, thank goodness.!

You: It gets so hot here in the summer, you can fry an egg on the sidewalk!

Me: That's cute

"Winter storms double snowpack"

...
The snowpack in the Upper Deschutes basin had reached 86% of normal as of Friday according to the U.S. Department of Agriculture’s Natural Resources Conservation Service.

At the start of January, the region’s snowpack was just 42% of normal. The statewide snowpack was 45% of normal on Jan. 1 and is at 94% of normal [as of Jan 17].

It's still just mid-winter. Who knows how the season will turn out by its end...?

With only a few weeks of winter remaining, we still have not had the need to put the winter tires on the Lady's car.

Painted the fence and sprayed the weeds today. Not sure what happened to winter.
