RDP – Solstice

Posted on December 20, 2022 by Mama Cormier

…thanks to Ragtag Daily Prompts for today’s word ‘Solstice’ https://ragtagcommunity.wordpress.com/2022/12/20/rdp-tuesday-solstice/

Winter solstice 2022 in the Northern Hemisphere will be at 4:47 p.m. on Wednesday, December 21, Eastern Standard Time. It is also the first official day of Winter. Many parts of Canada have experienced winter weather since October and back in mid-November we had a blast of snow but for the most part winter hasn’t really started here. The temperatures are, however, finally starting to drop and any precipitation we get in the next week should be in the form of snow.

All Ready for Christmas

Posted on December 18, 2022 by Mama Cormier

…the tree is up and the stockings are hung with care

Most, if not all the presents have been bought and the ones that need to be delivered have arrived at their destinations. The only thing left to do is wrap a few presents and write a few cards.

Weekly Prompts Weekend Challenge – December 17, 2022

Posted on December 17, 2022 by Mama Cormier

…thanks to Sue W. and GC for the prompt ‘wish’ https://weeklyprompts.com/2022/12/17/weekly-prompts-weekend-challenge-wish/

What do you wish for this time of year? Presents, time with the family, solitude, Peace, good health…..?

My wish for all is whatever brings you happiness. Presents are nice and I love to give them but the other things on my list are more important to me. I loved spending time with my granddaughters and my family this year. That was my number one wish in 2022.
