By the time you read this, the winter solstice will have passed.
The sun paused it’s southward journey today at 5:44 AM Eastern Time and is already moving north.
Soon the days will be getting longer and the birds will begin to sing.
Listen for the song sparrow. What day will he sing his first song?

Kate, I actually heard a song sparrow on my street on the 20th! It had been long enough since the last time I’d heard his song that it took me a moment to place the unusual noise. ^_^
