Today's the day?

[cee-dee]

It's the day with the longest night.

After today, each night will be a little shorter and it's the start of the time when we can begin to look forward to the best time of year, SPRING. Celandines, Wood Anemones and the Bluebells. All the trees will be bursting out in that lovely Green, April Green?

No wonder the ancients celebrated the day?

It still seems a long way away.😀

[cee-dee]

Well, being on the right side of the shortest day's a good start?

[margaret*e]

That is true.

 I hate getting up in the dark.

[cee-dee]

Stay in bed later then? 

[margaret*e]

Tell that to my dogs.😛

[cee-dee]

Well, you WOULD have another dog!

[margaret*e]

[cee-dee]

Such a lovely, innocent looking doggie isn't she?

[margaret*e]

Looks are deceptive.😀

Ah she is beautiful, my old girl is now 13 and getting slower by the day! 😩

[margaret*e]

She’s twice that size now, Archie and a little menace.

So hard when they get old.

She's beautiful, Margaret, what's her name?

[margaret*e]

Her name’s Jessie, she’s 10 months now and bigger than my older dog.
