Well, all is not well with my blog feed and nothing went out this morning. Grrrrr! I suspect that you’re about to receive two posts as I’ve made my latest guess as to where the problem lies.

Thought that I would take a break today from Rockport and post this image that I took yesterday at the Assabet River National Wildlife Refuge. I call it “the flooded grove” – flooded by beavers, of course. I mean it to be thick, dark, and brooding as befits the Yule.

Yule is just what we need. It comes from early pagan germanic cultures and celebrates the rebirth of light and sunshine as the days begin on the solstice to get longer. Needless-to-say we have a long way to go. But I am heartened.
