Cold and rainy weather was a real possibility during the winter solstice party. But a day that started with a coating of ice everywhere turned warmer and beautiful before the party started. The next day was rainy. So boy are we lucky!

After lighting, it was time for music. The music lasted all night, right up to 5am when the weather shifted and it started to sprinkle.

We decided that due to rampant political disgust we would burn some flags. Real ones. This is a new thing. Thanks Trump.
Flag burning time
Into the fire with you nazis!
Burn baby burn
And we’ve had it with racism too.
Flag two for the flames
Down with racism
Burn baby burn

Then it was back to the keg of dogfish head 90 and the fantastic potluck dinner in the barn. Super fantastic.
TURN SUN TURN.
Thanks to all who came.
