Wednesday Morning
Soon winter's solstice will begin, the time when the sun "stands still" and appears to rise no further south each morning. Then, after a few days, the sun will begin to rise a little further north each day. In this picture the sun is rising on the right side of the building. In the summer it will rise many degrees to the left of it. Where is your sun rising? If you keep a nature journal, you could make a sketch of your horizon and mark the location of the rising sun and the date. Perhaps you could have your children do this as part of their science project :-).
Quiz: As the earth twirls around, our northern hemisphere tilts towards the sun for a while and then away from the sun. Which way are we tilted now?
Blessed Advent!

Don't know the answer to your quiz, but you certainly were up early considering you stayed up late talking!
Even though it was after midnight when I went to bed, I still woke up at 6:00 this morning. My sunrise didn't look as nice as yours. It was cloudy.
