This morning I came into the kitchen at approximately 6:45 and noticed the room was less than completely dark. I could even see the house that's across the arterial street. When I checked my weather app it told me that first light this morning was at 6:35 am.
The days are getting longer. Hallelujah!

Longer daylight is DEFINITELY welcome!
ReplyDeleteI have mixed emotions about daylight savings. I hate it in the summer because we’re in the 100’s and that strong hot sun bakes on us for longer - 9 pm and it’s still light out. I wish it would just stay regular like Arizona and Hawaii. California voted to kick daylight savings to the curb - it won but nothing has been done now for several years. Just too hot in the summer.
ReplyDeleteBelieve it or not, I wasn't even thinking of DST when I saw a hint of brightness in the sky when it used to be completely dark. It just made me happy to know that the days are getting longer.
DeleteWe're looking forward to the clocks going forward again. It's so nice to see more daylight and earlier.
ReplyDeleteI'll cross the daylight savings time bridge when I come to it.
DeleteHallelujah indeed!
ReplyDeleteFinally---YES!
ReplyDeleteI actually love it when it gets dark early (part vampire, part baker). That said, I also love a fresh new spring with flowers, sunshine and bugs.
ReplyDeleteEach season of the year has its advantages...and by the end of each season I'm ready for a new one.
DeleteI totally get that. I feel that way about decorations. When I first put them up I'm like, "I'm gonna wanna keep this up FOREVER." Then one morning I wake up and I'm done. Ready for a new holiday or just nice and plain.
DeleteYay!
ReplyDeleteI don't know, but every time the days get longer,
ReplyDeleteI feel a sense of optimism,
while when they get shorter,
I feel a bit melancholic—so hooray!
Katerina, I hadn't thought about the optimism that comes with more light during the day. Thanks!
DeleteI agree! More sunshine and longer days lift my spirits. Terry and I are working on our calendars this Saturday morning, with lots of plans for the next 6 months, so that too lifts my spirits.
DeleteThat's a great picture, I love it.
ReplyDeleteMe too. I bet you have some that are at least that good (if not better).
Deletesuch a good picture...I am ready for longer days and I really, really want Day light savings time.
ReplyDeleteDaylight Savings Time is such a divisive topic. People either love it or they hate it.
DeleteIt takes a long time before we notice the length of days getting longer here in Hawaii and it's not as dramatic as it used to be in Illinois.
ReplyDeleteInteresting! I wonder if it's because Hawaii is so much farther south.
DeleteI haven't seen the sun from my basement for years! 😄
ReplyDelete🤣🤣🤣.
DeleteHere too! (Way up north.)
ReplyDeleteThis year, I'm not sure I want to see more of these days.
ReplyDeleteChin up and think positive!
DeleteSame here and I can't wait to spring arrive!
ReplyDeleteagree more daylight the more we can enjoy the scenery.
ReplyDeleteIt’s always such a nice feeling when the days start getting longer! That extra bit of light in the morning can make such a difference, especially when the weather gets brighter too. It sounds like you and Tony have a cozy routine together, with him getting the house ready and you starting your day. Hope you enjoy the increasing daylight!
