Winter Solstice


We had our Winter Solstice celebration today. Well, Jenni and Sean and Phoenix came over for lunch and fun so I had to call it something, and it is the first day of winter. So, it was our solstice celebration. We had an indoor picnic of cheeses, fruits, chips and dips , crusty bread and a bottle of wine. We also had a couple of early gifts, Phoenix got his first crayons and drawing paper and some markers made for little hands.


Hilda got a new camera, a Canon A720. Her old camera, a Sony had a nasty little button that put it into slow shutter mode without warning. Too many out of focus pictures got to be too much. This one takes really nice pictures, and the controls suit Hilda's non-techie style of photography. All together we had a great day together.


The weather today started out sunny and warm, but by noon it had turned cloudy and cooled off considerably, with a pretty good NW breeze blowing. I guess that's what happens when winter gets here.
