Such precision we have about it now! Winter solstice is when, because of the earth’s tilt, our hemisphere is leaning farthest away from the sun. The daylight is the shortest and the sun has its lowest arc in the sky. It marks the rebirth of the sun and is celebrated by cultures around the world. Our many spiritual traditions reflect this rebirth in a variety of rich beliefs and traditions and we look forward to the lengthening of the days.
Human bones
specialist in
Sperryville
I heard from Carol Lucking about a man in Old Hollow who has a small Christmas tree farm. Ray and I went to get our tree and had the pleasure of meeting Doug Ubelaker, an anthropologist at the Smithsonian’s Natural History Museum, whose specialty is human bones, with a special interest in pre-Colombian bones! Doug and his wife, Maruja, a preschool teacher, planted trees in the 80s and now provide them for a small group of folks every year. Maruja, originally from Ecuador, is also a potter. We hope to start seeing some of her work in the local shops soon! If we find any pre-Colombian sites in Rappahannock, we now know who to contact!
Keep the pizza hot... Rudy’s is open! Grand opening December 21.
Forty pizzas were sold last Saturday at Rudy’s! Right next to The Corner Store, Rudy’s opened without fanfare, signs or printed menus, but with great New York style pizza! Somehow the word spread and Tom Nash, chef extraordinaire, had to close early because he ran out of dough. The latter, by the way, is homemade with cake yeast...no dry yeast for this chef! Tom spins the dough in the air and slides it, with toppings of your choice, into hot ovens. It was delicious.
