Happy Winter Solstice/It's CRAZY out there!

Happy Winter Solstice! It's a dull day here in Michigan. I don't think there's a lot of hope seeing the moon tonight. I was hoping to perhaps catch a glimpse of it. I always look forward to this day. I know it's the shortest day of the year, but it means that the days will be getting longer and, though we are in Winter, Spring will be coming again!

I had a couple of errands to run and it was raining so I got out early instead of going for a walk. It was busy even when I went out! By ten o'clock I was done and I was really glad! It was CRAZY out there! There were too many people and drivers weren't really paying attention to what they were doing. I am looking forward to things being a little quieter when the holidays are done. I think, apart from a couple of foodie things, that I am done shopping.

I did pick up a couple of things that weren't on the list. My middle son has to work on Christmas and I think he's feeling a little down about it. I couldn't buy a tree or plant as he has a kitten, but I did get him a couple of Christmas-y things to hopefully cheer him up!

Moon from Wednesday night when the skies were really clear!
