Update:
Winter Solstice Chicken In A Pot
It's a store chicken.
Our chickens are fine and enjoying the sunshine.
Rice keeping warm on the top shelf.
Morgan's bowls below.
The barrel and wash tub
are full of paper kindling.

December 22 is the Winter Solstice!
Shortest day of the year!
To find an interesting YouTube video I typed
Winter Solstice in the search box
Winter Solstice in the search box
and then just for fun I typed in chicken.
Since this is a somewhat chicken oriented blog
I sometimes add chicken stuff to searches.
You never know... there might be something interesting? Nope... So, I typed in Winter Solstice egg
... and who knew? ... not me, that's for sure, but
you are supposed to be able to balance an egg on its pointy end on the Winter Solstice.
Wow!
Balance an egg on its pointy end?
Well...
Yes and No
No: no because of what Snopes says here
and
Yes: because of this video.
Seems that you can balance an egg on its pointy end whenever you want.
The solstice doesn't have anything to do with the balance act.
The question now is... do I want to balance an egg on its pointy end?
Not tonight.
I'm going to take Morgan out and then go to bed.
The neighbor's burning rubbish has burned away.
No smoke outside tonight.
I really didn't like waking up last night
thinking the house was on fire.
Maybe there will be an egg in the morning?
Merry Christmas!

Very interesting, I learned something new. I'd heard the same thing, so this puts it to rest.

That means our days are getting shorter.
I am just hoping for eggs, whether I can balance them or not! The ladies usually kick back into laying after the solstice passes and the days start to lengthen. Let's hope I get more than 1 egg in the coop by Sunday!

Happy Solstice my friend, and hope you have a wonderful holiday season!
Wow....that's pretty cool! I think we'll try that here in a few. I have my nieces and nephews today and they will LOVE this!
Blessings~
