Darkness and Light

DARKNESS. Once again, Team Leslie has made it to the Winter Solstice, the darkest day of the year no matter where you live, but especially noticeable up here in these Alaskan parts: about five hours of daylight. (For those of you who have been hitting the hard eggnog recently, I'll do the simple math for you...) That's nineteen hours of night, people. Some serious payback for those days of sunny frolicking at midnight during the summer!

LIGHT. But what a chance to appreciate that invaluable visible part of the electromagnetic spectrum! From a morning bonfire with cocoa, through to x-country skiing in our forest, candle-making, fairy crafting, and Solstice celebration crackers, we took the whole day to unplug, play and connect with the light...

Indigo says, "Thank you bees!"

Working away to make...
Fairies!

Homemade crackers complete with a snap and a crown!


HAPPY SOLSTICE EVERYONE!
