Snowy Woods

Today is Winter Solstice, the shortest day of the year. We climb out of darkness tonight, and enter the deeper part of winter. I love the concept of hygge and what we can do to push sadness away in the darkness of winter.

The piece above is my own student artist study of a piece that appeared in Yankee Magazine sometime in the 1980's.  I've always been fond of the New England farm scape in winter.

Big house-little house-back house-barn.

A clean dairy barn is a warm, sweet smelling and comfy place in the dark of winter. Cow-heated cozy.

Hope your woodpile is ready.
