One of my favourite days of the year.

The grey days will start here soon. unless its like last year, when we effectively had no winter here in flyover country. This year we have a strong El Nina, which means for us we could get a whopper of a winter.

I didn’t open any persimmon seeds this year. They seem to be wrong every year anyway.

And here’s some Winter Solstice poetry for ya. See if you recognize it.

BKB

Close the doors, put out the lightHouses of the Holy
You know they won’t be home tonight
The snow falls hard and don’t you know
The winds of Thor are blowing cold
They’re wearing steel that’s bright and true
They carry news that must get through
They choose the path where no-one goes
They hold no quarter,
They hold no quarter.
Walking side by side with death
The devil mocks their every step
The snow drives back the foot that’s slow
The dogs of doom are howling more
They carry news that must get through
To build a dream for me and you
They choose the path that no one goes
They hold no quarter…They ask no quarter,
They hold no quarter…They ask no quarter…”

I'm a country music fan, but I do know a little about Led Zepplin. ;)

I rememberwhen Houses of the Holy came out and I hated it. Where did my blues band go? Then the more I listened the more the genius showed through.
Awesome band.

I knew that. It was the whiskey reading/typing last night.
