Today is the shortest day of the year and we celebrated it at the Winter Solstice Festival at Red Butte Garden. It was time to welcome longer days and the return of light by greeting the sun with Winter Solstice festivities that included making pine cone bird feeders, casting our written wishes into the cauldron fire attended by Father Oak and Mother Earth, got a henna sun tattoo, listened to live Bluegrass band, made an Ivy headpiece to symbolize protection and healing, created a bell anklet to help ring and dance in a new solar year, and sipped
on hot cider.
on hot cider.I had to "rent a kid", but lyss was happy to oblige. It was super fun! I have good feelings about this... I really believe we did our part and Spring is just right around the corner! You're all welcome!

It looks totally beautiful up there with all of the snow, but I am grateful for your sun energy because I am missing the warmer weather to go out and play with Elli.
