Happy Yule. The reason for the season.

This is our Yule log, though it's more of a Yule stick. The stem of our Yule tree from last year, it has waited a year to take part in this celebration of light.

The Yule practice calls for burning a portion of the log each evening until Twelfth Night (January 6). The log is subsequently placed beneath the bed for luck, and particularly for protection from the household threats of lightning and, with some irony, fire. Many have beliefs based on the Yule log as it burns, and by counting the sparks and such, they seek to discern their fortunes for the new year and beyond.

It's Varroa Mite killing time. Getting the numbers down so the girls have a fighting chance of surviving the winter.

@northwindwardrobe Alaska State Fair: Keith MC'd the Mr. Sourdough Beard Contest (a hairy situation!), Georgia judged. Post-judging? World-class people watching. More thrilling than the Tilt-A-Whirl!
