This may also be my shortest post of the year too!
Why? You ask! Because after today, the days get longer!!! Yeah! It’s the best way of looking at the shortest day of the year.
Oh. And yes. The first day of summer IS my saddest day of the year because after that date, the days become shorter:
It’s a busy week, I’ll say–but here’s some retro summer reading. I don’t know how to reblog so I’m just adding links to two posts from this past summer. Enjoy!
Some Sleep With The Fishes. I Sleep With The Ice Cubes
The Magic of Rondini……
Happy Reading!!! XOXOXOXO

About Catherine
Far from perfect, but enjoying life as a non-perfect and flawed individual at 60 years young. I'm still wondering what I'll be when I grow up!
The characters in my life's screenplay include my better half.
He is a refined Frenchman who grew up in Paris and summered in St. Tropez.
I grew up in Long Island and summered in Long Island.
I am not refined.
My three grown children are also a big part of my life.
For their sake, they happily live where their careers have taken them! But I can still mother them from a distance!
I write about the mundane. I write about deeply shallow issues. But whatever I write or muse about--it'll always be a bit on the humorous and positive side!
It's all good!
Happy short day
Thank you! And today we are one minute more of sunshine. But wait. It’s raining here so maybe not sunshine but a longer day! XOXOXO
Thanks you for reminding me about the solstice. At lease I have something to look forward to now! Happy reading! {{{Catherine}}}
Hi Catherine! Oh yes, we ALL have something to look forward to now. The weather is Spring-like so the coming of longer days seems so perfect! XOXOXO!!!!
I am so used to reading long posts with a lot of pictures from you that this post has left me wanting for more! 😀
See what the holidays do to me? I’m rushing around prepping, cooking and cleaning (ugh) that I have limited time for what I love–blogging. I’ll have so much to say after the holidays! XOXOXOXO!!!
It’s the season….enjoy it…we look forward to reading everything you say after the holidays! 😀
Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to you in advance!
XOXOXO
Happy solstice.

Turtle Hugs
Turtle sleep for me! I need to get under the covers like a turtle going into a shell and hibernate until Spring! Think of how beautiful I’ll be:)!!!!!! XOXOXOXO!!!
Ah!Ah! I tell you right now I’m fighting as hard as I can to not give in ! Otter sister is telling me “hang on to just after New Year and go to sleep then 😉 ” I think we will both rock come Spring 😉
The best of Holidays to you and yours <3
I love it when the days are shorter, because everything is cooler. I hate the heat

Jenny. As one who despises extreme heat (moreso humidity), I agree with you on temperature. But those long days give me more to be lazy about! XOXOXO!!
Oh, it was the shortest day and I missed it. I guess a day has to be a certain length before I even notice it. 🙂
Bun. How did you miss it? Were you speed driving through time with your father-in-law? Merry Christmas X”OXOXOXOXO!!!
It may have been that or I may just have slept right through it. I enjoy sleeping on my days off.
Anyway, I hope you have a wonderful Christmas and New Year. 🙂
I love thinking about the days getting longer and back into daylight savings time!
Right??? There is nothing better than to have a bit more daylight each day! XOXOXO
I think the battle is half over now!
