Davyd in his snow fort
The wind blew across Lake Michigan through the night, sculpting the foot of snow that fell through the night on Wednesday. Davyd was delighted to have a snow day off school on Thursday. We frolicked in the snow, baked Christmas cookies, wrapped presents, listened to music and had a cozy day.
Davyd's "holiday" concert was Friday. How I love music teachers. I can't imagine any greater contribution then knowing hundreds of children have sang during their day. Friday was also graced us with our furnace going out - really makes one appreciate the pleasure of being warm!
Davyd and I woke up at 5:30AM Saturday to participate in a Solstice celebration at Schlitz Audubon. Davyd Stokes did a lovely job through song and candles making tribute to longest night. We shared things we hoped for and things we wished leave behind. We symbolically marked the things we hoped to usher out, by writing them on the back of a smooth Lake Michigan rocks. We then hiked through the snow down to the beach and tossed the stones into the icy water. One could see darkness as negative, yet the dark gives us time to reflect and better see the light of the future. Happy Solstice.
