Winter Arrives!

      Today winter arrives and the planets are lining up. Looks like a clear sky so I'll drive out of town to avoid the light pollution from Sinai's dozen or so street lights to view the planets. Weather whiplash, with 50 degrees predicted for tomorrow and minus 2 tomorrow night, 30 mph wind today. Psychologically helpful to think of increasing daylight though it isn't noticeable for some time.

     When I took Trygve out last night after dark there were fireflies in the yard. What??? This is December there are no fireflies in December!! Dismissing the apparition I went back inside. Later when I went outside again there were fireflies, or so I thought. How can this be, even if it is 30 degrees? Closer inspection revealed that a Christmas display in a yard down the street was sending moving beams of light giving the appearance of fireflies. 😊  What will they think of next?    

       Christmas approaches!  Have you finished shopping,  baking, decorating?

Takk for alt,
