It's before Solstice Eve... On Solstice, we will do our usual fire from the sun thing. Looks like the weather will be great for it. And we haven't had any snow yet, so I will also get my annual bicycle ride up Solstice Way.
Actually a little concerned about the weather being so warm, though the last few years it really hasn't gotten cold until the end of January. So maybe we will have snow eventually after all. Meanwhile, our heating system is slightly on the fritz, so perhaps it's good that we are having local warming. (The fritz is that the heat pump has lost some coolant, and we need them to come and do something which will find the leak and then fix it. Unfortunately, since we are not actually "no heat", our repair is less important in their minds. We're just wasting energy running more often than it should.)
Solstice will be a little weird this year, with Jocelyn still in California performing. She will come home in January, either for a week or for a few months, she hasn't decided yet.
