Solstice Day

 I stopped on the way to the gallery to post a letter in Maybole... now it has a bypass and lorries on the A75 on their way to the ferry are no longer shaking the high street buildings apart... literally.... there is hope..





I must go back again to take a few more photos.

Today was my last gallery duty of the year... thankfully....I don't really enjoy "peopling" !!

Then a big shop ( for me) not because of the holidays, just a normal 2-3 weekly one. 

I'd let some of the basics run down as well. Normally I keep one in use and one on the shelf...and when the one on the shelf comes out, time to refill the shelf ..except that I hadn't!

Back home before Christmas 6 so I missed the worst of the jams...

Time to light a candle for Solstice.

Think of those not with us....we used to celebrate every one, now it is four I've seen by myself. And a light for the future.



Pirate...born in the year of the Hare....and I've always felt, even before knowing him, that every day one is seen is a good day.

Yes, I also believe that it's always a good omen/blessing to see a wild hare or wild rabbit. I just love the look of that house in photo #2 -- just the kind of place I wanted to live in as a kid! I wanted my own tower room so bad, LOL.

A busy Solstice day for you. We spent it cleaning floors...the porch, deck, and then inside. The dogs make such a mess on the porch abd deck that I am going to have to lock them off of it. They can still get to the back porch, and into the workroom if they want. They come inside a lot, I just want them to come in the back way!

Not often you see a turret on the outside of a building these days, it's peopling exhausting? I can't wait to get home and rest my brain at the end of my day.

The gallery sounds like a busy place. Good for sales but also tiring.
Happy Solstice.
I also love seeing the Hare on my property during the Spring and Summer months.

A blessed solstice to you, GZ ❤️ And to those not with us in body.
Lovely hare
