Magic in the Water

Back to the Future

Solstice
As a kid I longed for Christmas. As an adult, I long for the solstice. The solstice is the pivot point for the sun and today is the shortest day of the year. It also happened to be overcast and the flurries that were predicted turned into a steady dump of fine snow that was…
