Three weeks ago it would already be dark outside right now. Now it looks like the sun is just about to set.

Summer is coming. All the SAD sufferers can start cheering up.

The solstice was 12/21 (or around) so yes they are getting longer. Here in KY the sun doesn't set until almost 10 pm in June. It's awesome.

January and February are always my most miserable months.

But yes, thankfully the days are getting longer.

Thor and Odin are beating the frost giants back into their darkness.

Hail the All Father. Bring on the Bunny.

I support this. No more going to work and then back home in the dark. Plus my running shoes are calling...after a couple months the treadmill is dead boring.

I'm with you, it's nice to have these spring-like temps. They are calling for 32* here and it's great!

Not in the part of KY where I have land.

Sun sets at about 8 in the middle of summer. Surrounded by big hills.

Happens...

December 21 = shortest day(light) of the year.
Then, as if by magic, each day becomes progressively longer until June 21 - the longest day(light) of the year.

On and on and on and on...

A.W.D.

Well, seeing as Dec 22 was the shortest day of the year, the days do start getting longer from there on. Just sorta works out that way.

December 22 is winter solstice ...first day of winter ...and the daylight hours start getting longer.

March 22 is the spring equinox ...first day of spring

June 22 is the summer solstice ....first day of summer ...and the daylight hours start getting shorter.

September 22 is the fall equinox ....first day of fall

Trips around the Sun are fun.
