My most favorite day of the year is TODAY

Yep, the winter solstice is my favorite day of the year. Why is that? And how is that possible with summer being my favorite time of the year? Because today is the shortest day of the year. From here on out our days will become a bit longer and longer until it's finally summer.

And yes, that means that on June 21st I'm a bit sad that it's over and starting to count backwards. I love daylight. I love long summer nights. We love going North in the summer to Idaho and Jackson Hole, Wyoming where the sun stays up until past 10 pm during the summer solstice. There is nothing like the magic of a long hot summer night.

So enjoy this long cold night tonight and know that after tonight it will be a bit lighter 1 minute earlier night after night. Woohoo!!
