Winter Solstice. first day of winter, on the calender, but we figure winter has been here for a month at least. Shortest amount of daylight for the year. It’s about 4:30 as I type this and almost dark. If it wasn’t for the full moon rising, it would be dark, I think. From now on, longer days of sun. Yaaaa!
I stayed up and watched the eclipse about 12:30 this morning. Pretty cool, in more ways than one!
Here’s some pictures of the lowboy trailer I have been using to feed these mid size bales. Got a little fresh snow fall the other night and so far the wind has stayed down and not moved it much. Just a lite breeze today but not real warm. Got up to 18 maybe.

Yep, I’d like longer days of sun too; my late dad used to say- ” As the days begin to lengthen, the cold begins to strengthen.”
Merry Christmas to you and yours JB.

Yup, I’d heard that too and there was a moon dog last night so I suppose we will get some colder weather.

We were in town yesterday and some sarcastic soul said that at least it’s winter now. Great pic’s.
