Christmas is the time when the Fire Star brings back the light to the world
Dec 21st, 2011 | 6 responses
This is a great night and day: winter solstice; the time when the light comes back more and more for longer and longer glancing across Planet Earth to us, the Fire Star, that is, the sun, comes back to us. In our family the old people would put on their galoshes over their butchkors and bring in fresh and oh so cold water from the well pump outdoors and we would feast on something yellow, orange and/or red, the colors of the sun! most often the banana peppers, the lantern peppers and the cayenne hot hot hot peppers we’d canned in late summer and put up in shining glass Mason jars on the rough sawn boards in the dark cellar. Consume warmth to bring warmth was their backwoods homeopathy.
You too, drink clean and eat fresh today, warmth to bring warmth… as here, winter is still deeply upon us. Yet… the sun, our sun, comes…

Beautiful, Dr. E., just beautiful.
Stay warm, well and golden yellow, dr. E.
The sun is a definite plus whenever it comes out in the winter months for me otherwise I turn on a colored clock that is a brilliant orange, kind of reminds me of the sun and warms me
Beautiful picture Dr E!
Had hot yellow corn chips with ham, sliced habaneras and melted yellow cheese. Does that count? I’m pretty warm.
Sharing some of that beautiful Colorado mountains weather, and lights,with you here in Breckenridge, Dr.E.
