Saturday Sky - Winter Solstice
You know you're sick when you can't knit, can't eat chocolate (or much of anything else) and only wish for sleep. If one must get the flu then it should only last three days. Today is a better day and I do, finally, feel like knitting. Thank you for your good wishes. The first day of winter brought a big storm, but who can complain when the day ends up this beautiful?
Again, Merry Christmas, Blessings of Solstice, and Joy of the Season to you.





















I'm glad you're feeling a bit better! Keep resting and start knitting. You'll be yourself in no time. Oh, and if you really can't eat the chocolate you can always send it here. :-)

Merry Solstice! The snow is gorgeous and I'm wishing we had snow in Virginia. I'm glad you are feeling better. Keep resting and knit when you can.

Too sick to eat chocolate? Poor thing! I hope you feel better.

What a gorgeous sky! I love it when it looks like that. (We get it here too, although more often in the summer.) I'm glad you're getting over whatever you had. Merry Christmas!

Lovely trees. I hope you are at a point in your illness where the view can help, rather than seem superfluous. The time I got flu...I knew I was getting better when, rather than knowing I was dead, I only wished I was dead. Sounds like you are better than that.
That being said, you know what is going to be said next, right? Do it next year.
Posted by: Laurie | December 22, 2007 at 09:04 AM
glad you are on the mend.. it sure was a whopper of a flu wasn't it.
Posted by: Teyani | December 22, 2007 at 09:14 AM
I do hope you feel better, Margene! And those sky pictures are just gorgeous.

Beautiful sky photos! Hope you keep feeling better. I took my last antibiotic today for the respiratory crud I have had all December. I will celebrate with another gingerbread man.

Glad to hear you are better. And Happy Solstice to you, too. Beautiful photos. It seems that we are sharing MUCH similar weather this year, storm for storm.

I had to leave work early today because I've come down with who-knows-what and they about threw me out of there. So I'll join you on the knitting couch, but I think chocolate's out of the question here as well. So let's put an oldy but goodie Christmas movie on and knit the afternoon away!
Posted by: Pat K | December 22, 2007 at 12:39 PM
Since I obviously can't have a white Christmas, maybe I can enjoy one vicariously through you and your beautiful pictures!
Feel better soon and I hope you get some sleep!

Be better by Christmas, please. All that brilliant light should help.
Happy holidays.

Continue to rest hard and pamper yourself. No relapses!! May you be in centered stillness and beauty.
If you gotta have snow, at least it helps to have it with sunshine. Soooo pretty!!
Posted by: Roxie | December 23, 2007 at 08:47 AM
I hope you feel better soon. That is much prettier weather than we've be having.
Posted by: Madame Purl | December 23, 2007 at 09:20 AM
I am glad you are feeling a bit better. Take care!
Posted by: Sarah | December 23, 2007 at 10:38 AM
Please take good care of yourself - everything and everyone else can wait for just a little bit until you're on your feet again. No one has the time to be sick any more...especially Christmas week! Your western skies are magnificent!! Curl up with a blanket, a hot cup of something to drink, and enjoy the views...food for your soul!
Posted by: maureen | December 23, 2007 at 03:41 PM
With THAT to look at...you just HAVE to feel better?
(I hope!)
Merry Happy Solstice Christmas Holidays!
(((hugs)))
