So, how many of us usually sleep well?

The pugs usually sleep well. Last night was no exception.

Lovely! This made me picture an alternative version of The Wicker Man,
Spoiler:
in which Edward Woodward is frozen to death as the villagers sing this merry tune.

That's Beltane...

Well..

Since Beltane in the Northern Hemisphere is celebrated on May 1, the inverse (six month difference) would be November 1st. The six month alternative to Yule (Winter Solstice) would be Midsummer (Summer Solstice).

However, it is still a tradition to use the Maypole for Midsummer as well.

I don't usually sleep very well but last night was awful! I think I just had too much on my mind though, so sleep just wasn't in the cards. I did get the rest of my holiday baking done though.


Happy Winter Solstice!

Even with a terrible night's sleep, a day off and snuggle pugs I STILL couldn't take a nap. WTF?

I rarely sleep well. Last night I slept very, very well.

I sleep well most of the time, last night was no exception.
