Those words I believe are in a song, can't recall the name, but that is not what I am referring to in my title.
The SUN, it's coming back. December 21st has the shortest day light hours and the longest dark hours. Today, it reached the turning point, not that we have seen any sun for a good many days, as it has been grey and dearly. And not that it will change anything any time soon either, we still have to get through January and February when our weather is usually the coldest and when we get the most snow. Where I live there is no snow at the present time, however, that can change in a heart beat.
I need the sun to keep me in a happy mood, when it is shining I feel more energetic, there are a lot of other people feel the same way. I am not depressed when it cold and grey, just love to see the bright sun shining.
Finished by Christmas shopping today, lots of cars on the streets, I was fortunate to not have to do what I needed to do in those big box stores. Items at the grocery store for my contribution to DD1 B on Christmas day and bits and bobs for DD2 and her family who are coming on Boxing day.
Very few mince meat tarts on sale here this year, I only buy a couple for myself, previous years I would make my own, however, being alone I can't eat all them as no one else in my family likes them. The same with fruit cake. I am thinking about making one this Spring sometime, giving it a drink every once in awhile for eating next Christmas. A blogger I follow from "down under" sent me the recipe for a boiled fruit cake, which I made several years ago, and it was delicious. Trying that one again.
Have a great day
Cheers.
Same for me with fruit cake. I prefer the dark cake but am the only one! Maybe I will buy one when they go on sale in January.
ReplyDeleteLongest day of the year here. I made a fruit cake a couple of months ago and it didn't last. SOMEONE ate it. I might try to hide the next one better.
ReplyDeleteIt's a Celine Dion song, It's All Coming Back To Me:
ReplyDelete"There were nights when the wind was so cold
That my body froze in bed
If I just listened to it right outside the window
There were days when the sun was so cruel
That all the tears turned to dust
And I just knew my eyes were drying up forever (forever)"
