Merry Solstice
At the Winter Solstice, the Sun enters the part of the space-time continuum belonging to Capricorn. This year, that’s Thursday, the 21st of December. This is the official first day of Winter in the Northern Hemisphere. The word Solstice is derived from the Latin sol, or “Sun,” and stitium, or “stoppage.” At the Solstice, the Sun appears to both rise and set at the same spot on the horizon. On or…

The word Solstice is Latin in origin and translates as, Sol =the Sun, + stitere =standing still. On that day, the North Pole tilts most directly Sunward. Those of us in the Northern Hemisphere experience this as the longest day and shortest night…

Consumptive Chic
Before Kate Moss and Gia’s so-called Heroin Chic there was Consumptive Chic. These links are for any of you who have wondered how and when our cultural views of beauty shifted from idealizing the mother image to the waif. Yes, we can blame the Victorians for whom pale skin, slenderness and languor epitomized the artistic and sensitive modern woman. Links: Heroin Chic | Heroin Chic Models and…

Selling Shame
I love vintage ads. They show us that our preoccupation with appearance is not a modern obsession. They also show us that advertising products by appealing to our fears has been around a long time.

Porch time
It has been in the 80s this week, perfect weather for working on the front porch in the afternoon. The back porch is so private that I only get to see my East neighbors but the street out front gets a good amount of foot traffic. I love when neighbors are walking by and stop to visit for a few minutes.

Don’t you just love the word “equinox?” I have to decide each time whether to say it with a short or long “e”. The equinoxes are the two times during the year when the dark of night and the light of day are in balance or equal. Another name for the Vernal Equinox is…

RIP Sean Connery
Photo: The Daily Telegraph
And more sad news, Sean Connery has died at 90 years old. My Dad is a Bond fan so Connery was one of the first actors I was able to recognize as a child. Though best known for playing Bond, he was great in so many other movies, we love Time Bandits, The Great Train Robbery, A Bridge too far, The Highlander, and The Untouchables. Watch a couple of Sean Connery movies and…

These are just a few of the photos I took on my walk to the mailbox. I’ve been watching the birds refurbish that nest in the cholla for about a week. The nest was just a pile of straw after it had fallen apart completely from last year and first they carefully rewove a structure, then lined it with a dryer sheet and then rebuilt the entrance. So many changes all around. We have a hummingbird nest in our palo blanco, I’ll try to get some pictures.

Octopus dreams
A new PBS video shows a sleeping octopus changing colors in her sleep. I love to watch my dogs dream, but I never thought about whether octopi did too. Well, apparently they do. Click the link below to watch the clip, it is pretty cool.
