Waiting for the sun

Waiting for the sun Today is the winter solstice.  At 8:50am the sun was as far away from us as it could possibly be, and I was there for it.  Like a crazy person!  The sunrise was set for 7:35am but we’re on the back side of a hill away from the rising sun so I knew it would emerge a tad later than that … Continue reading Waiting for the sun
