Happy New Year

Where my heart is

This week I was reluctant and heavy hearted to return to the office.

But not before baking a lemon pie.

(Yes-I bake from scratch. Just in case anyone is wondering)

 Someday...I will stay where my heart is.

Yesterday was a baking day. Pumpkin Spice bread with a citrus glaze. YUM...

 Early this morning a layer of sun between the fog.

Winter Solstice

Today is Winter Solstice.
The winter solstice, the time of year when the Sun reaches its southernmost extreme in the sky, occurred today at 3:38 p.m. PST.

The Sun will now begin to rise 1 minute earlier and set 1 minute later each day until Summer Solstice in June. It may not seem like much, but accumulated over days, weeks, and months it makes possible the long Summer days I love. Every minute counts to me, as the majority of my time each week is spent inside my "office" occupation.

Yesterday I went with Tonya to take Grand baby for a healthy check-up. More shopping and enjoyed lunch out.
Today was spent doing some crafting, wrapping presents, and photo shooting at Tonya's home. I was more company than help-so I just loved on my Grand baby♥ 
2 more well spent days.
