Happy Solstice!!

And so it comes to the longest night of the year. Not familiar with the significance? You can read a bit about a conversation we had on Winter Solstice at our Green Branch discussion forum HERE

What was lurking outside the backporch window last night!? Is that... is that a stalker??



Nope.
It's cranky Crichton, and not very happy to have been noticed by all appearances. Looks like a human butt-kicking is in order... all these years and we are still not "trained" to Crichton's standards.



And here's the front yard after this mornings lightening, thunder, hail, sleet, buckets of rain extravaganza. Hail yes, that's all hail!!
