First, of course, there’s the weather. Cooler, less humid, crisper. And much shorter days as we’re halfway to the winter solstice.
It’s also a kind of winding down. Of a season. Of the year. Maybe even more. Here are some winding down highlights with some things in opposition happening at the same time . . .
Here are some recent highlights of the lead up to summer 2023 for me so far . . .
And, of course, it’s the point where we’re halfway from the winter solstice to its summer complement. Sort of like a coming and a going. Helping me think about recent events in my life and what’s coming down the road . . .
I’m pleased to announce the publication of my new novel EL NORTE. It’s available in all Amazon online stores worldwide (and in Kindle Unlimited). In ebook and paperback. 322 pages.
This suspense thriller follows an introverted Texas high-school graduate who has his world blown apart on a celebration trip to Central America. Will he find the strength in himself to survive and to get justice for his family?
So here’s a look back at my last 12 solar months based on the solstices and equinoxes, which define what I call the “solar quarters” . . .
The sun comes out and stays out. The stickiness of summer is over because the dew point is lower. Instead of all the heat and humidity pressing in from all sides, the air feels crisp and fresh. At least where I am in Central Virginia.
