52 Card Project 2022: Week 51: Solstice

I had plans for Solstice. I had rejected the idea of holding a Solstice party since Solstice was in the middle of the week. Still, I thought that at least Eric and I could get together and have a relaxed evening with roasted chestnuts, mulled wine, nibblies, and some quiet conversation.

Yeah, snow/polar vortex and driving--clearly not a good combination. My church canceled its evening Solstice service. Obviously, the best thing to do was to scale back plans. So Eric and I reluctantly called off the idea of getting together, and I just curled up on my own couch by myself.

I still made the nibblies! And I ate them all myself. They were delicious ;-) And I lit my ice candles outside and over twenty candles on my first floor and listened to this playlist and goodness, it was a lovely evening.

The days are now beginning to get lighter.

The dark scene is surrounded by a border of golden stars and glitter.
