Winter Solstice

Tonight is the longest night of the year--many years ago I read a book, Winter Solstice by one of my favorite authors Rosemunde Pilcher in which the main characters in the book host a winter solstice party. It struck my fancy so to say and when we are home in Montana for the holidays, we have a winter solstice party. We have such good friends and many of them were here tonight, Larry and Kelly, Jill, Terry & Kerri, Jeane and Steve, Arch and Gwen, Robyn and Claire. We enjoyed great food, wine and conversation--it was a fun party and everybody left their politics at home.

Now Emmi is asleep in Michael's lap (she was the chief entertainment) and we are relaxing, it was a busy day!

Another warm and mostly sunny day today--this was the view on our walk this morning.
