  6. Happy Winter Solstice! This day begins the novel that made me first want to be a writer: Susan Cooper's The Dark is Rising. It was my introduction, as a young reader, to true menace depicted on the page. The lore drew me in, the marvelous characters, and Will Stanton's quiet, rural life.

    These wonderful songs (made to accompany a dramatic reading of the novel) epitomize so much of the book's feeling: youtube.com/playlist?list=OLAK

    "The Winter Solstice is the shortest day of the year-- a day of beginnings, of storytelling, of reflection, of celebrating and more. For ancient astronomers, it was the day that the sun appeared at its lowest in the Northern Hemisphere sky and at its farthest southern point over Earth. It's also the day that the Earth and all of us are closest to the sun. Join naturalist Jeanne Christie for a walk to the shore at Kettle Cove to learn a bit of ancient history, astronomy, stories of past cultures, and to reflect and celebrate the beginning of the longest night of the year."

  9. Shortest day of the year today as we hit the Winter solstice here. Definitely a day to head out into whatever daylight you can find!
