So, it enters under cover of darkness while most of us engage in our only defense against winter... an extra quilt on the bed, two socks in our shoes, gloves, and a hat.
The 22nd is our first full day of winter and it's a precise 8 hours of daylight. Four minutes less than yesterday.
But starting Wednesday we will get a little more sunshine every day for the next seven months.
The change of season poems:
Winter has arrived
It's cold and dark, ice cold.
Spring is coming soon.
--------------------
We bundle up to go outside,
Indoors we drink hot tea.
Nighttime comes too soon.
Tis a time for sleep and
Eating comfort food until
Rest beckons us again.
