Joyous Solstice
It's a beautiful brisk shortest day of the year. I awoke before the sun and hauled my quailing family out of bed. Sylvia was not enthused and had a full scale meltdown. So it also being National Haiku day I wrote poetry to honor the occasion.

At a chilling negative ten we had to scrape the inside of our windshield and windows free of frost. I hope to god that next winter we will have a better car. I guess I better get on that credit improvement plan.

Frost scraped from car interiors
the god is reborn

All in all however I am well pleased with the way this season is going. It could be warmer, the house could be cleaner and we could motivate ourselved into actually decorating before the holidays pass us by, but we have our health and two amazing wonderful children.

I wish all of you the happiest of holidays no matter what you celebrate.
