Winter Solstice 2012

 

The shortest day of the year is proving to be one of the most beautiful.  It's a clear cold December day.  We have candles burning and a warm fire.  Saga has chicken pox and we are waiting for Sixten to break out in them as well.  We plan to spend the weekend inside and then on Christmas Eve hope for healthy children so we can venture over to my in-laws.  We send everyone a warm peaceful solstice and a cozy Christmas with your loved ones.

Cold Outside, Warm in Our Hearts

November has come to an end with a cold wind that bites in many ways.  The weather has been windy, and we just aren't used to the cold yet.  Axel starts work tomorrow after 6 months "off".  We will miss having him around to call in for lunch. 

 

 

 

Sixten our practicing snow shoveling.  This snow melted away rather quickly but it was a good start to the winter.

Beautiful first snow fall.

Axel shot a moose on Sunday.  It was the last day of the hunting season.  Saga is getting some skinning lessons on a pair of moose legs for the dogs to chew on.

Christmas decorations have been brought into the house.  The tree is next.  I have my eye on one behind our house.  Hope everyone had a lovely Thanksgiving.  We ate moose liver and potatoes, but we still went around the table and said what we were thankful for.
