The longer I have been focused on gardening and farming the more conscious and appreciative I have become of the Earth's rhythms and seasons. I know that God created the lights in the firmament to be for signs and seasons as it says in scripture. The darkest day of the year is a turning point in the seasons, a time to celebrate the return of more of the sun's light.
We had a special solstice dinner party this year -- with candles! And cranberry walnut bread, homegrown duck, green beans, and potatoes.
We also celebrated our two (near solstice) birthday kids. We have our first teenager in the house... Not a big drama though -- as she does everything beautifully and kindly.
They each had their night of special dinner, one sushi and one Mexican. They each had an ice cream sundae bar.
