Daylight Saving Time Ends @ 2 am on 11/2 here in Michigan.

We gain back the hour that was ripped away from us on 3/9.

A few chuckles to honor this rather stupid ritual:

Equinox and Blogoversary

The autumnal equinox will occur on September 22, 2025 at 18:19 GMT.

Some of us are unhappy that summer is over, yet rejoice in the recent wonderful days we've had here in Michigan.

In honor of every solstice and equinox, some creative Stonehenge replicas for your amusement:

🌞🌞🌞

Also, today is our 12th Blogoversary; our first post was September 22, 2013.

Who'd of thunk it?

We wouldn't be here if not for our readers: 

THANK YOU SO MUCH!

We are about CATS, and a whole bunch of other stuff.

Sum-sum-Summertime!

June 20 Summer Equinox @ 10:42 pm EDT

YAY it's SUMMER!!!

Cannot express how I feel that there are others in the world who find making Stonehenge replicas out of ANYTHING, then post the images to share with numpties like me.

And now YOU get to enjoy them too!

🌞

In honor of June is Audiobook Month, 

I recommend Robert Gailbraith's (pen name for J. K. Rowling), Comoran Strike series:

1 The Cuckoo's Calling (2013)

2 The Silkworm (2014)

3 Career of Evil (2015)

4 Lethal White (2018)

5 Troubled Blood (2020)

6 The Ink Black Heart (2022)

7 The Running Grave (2023)

8 The Hallmarked Man (September, 2025) 

Robert Glenister, Narrator

Gritty, human, and wildly inventive is how I describe the stories of private detective Cormoran Strike and Robin Ellacott, in London, England.

There is also a TV show, which I have not seen, but I've heard that it's pretty darn good.

Midwinter

The word 'solstice' comes from the Latin 'solstitium', meaning 'Sun stands still' – because the apparent movement of the Sun's path north or south stops before changing direction.

So let's celebrate with a few Stonehenge jokes!

Cool neon Stonehenge light!

Packing Peanut Henge

Henry camped out on the round rug all night last night, instead of hiding in the back room.

Of course, I snapped away at him, then played with one image in Prisma, to make a collage.

Autumnal Equinox: Sunday, Sep 22, 2024, 8:43 AM Eastern 

At today's equinox, the sun appears directly above Earth’s equator; it’s crossing from north to south.

As usual, here are some of my Stonehenge funnies in honor of the season change:

Above images found on the interwebs.

Hey!

It's our 11th Blogoversary.

Our first post was September 22, 2013.

Before learning to blog, I would send emails to family and friends, relating the antics of of our inside cats and the outside cats.

Appreciate all of our readers, and love your comments.

THANK YOU!

Midsummer

A few Mock Stonehenges for your amusement:

Actually, it's difficult to believe we've made it this far into the year already!

However, am up for some dancing 'round the bonfire tonight.

The Jolly Old Elf has got some serious wing power now!

We're all tripping...

Sea Jerky Henge

Cracker Henge or Shortbread Henge

The world 'solstice' comes from the Latin 'solstitium', meaning 'Sun stands still', because the apparent movement of the Sun's path north or south stops before changing direction. 

At the winter solstice, the apparent position of the Sun reaches its most southerly point against the background stars.

Winter begins at:

Wed, Jun 21, 2023, 8:57 AM Easter Island Time

Thursday, December 21, 2023, at 10:27 PM Eastern Standard Time

Fri, Dec 22, 2023, 4:27 AM Central European Time

Thu, Jun 22, 2023, 12:57 AM Eastern Australian Time

Here's a thought...now that it's officially Winter, that means Spring is NEXT!

WOOT!

Something to be thankful for on the longest night of the year, after the shortest day.

Yule

As a religious holiday, the winter solstice is also known as Yule, and celebration

of this day predates Christianity. 

While Druids, Romans, and Norsemen all celebrated the sacred nature of the solstice centuries ago, many modern Pagans and Wiccans consider

this an important religious holiday.  

A yule greeting to you all:

"The light is reborn this winter solstice, may your heart lift with the joy of new beginnings and nature's blessings."
