The longest day of the year has past and we are in a downward spiral to the shortest day of the year. Sigh. I've been reminded "lovingly" by my husband that summer is not over --- but the days are getting shorter! It's pretty dark by 9 AND it's not as bright early in the morning. (I know, I know! That's what "shorter days" mean -- but it's still just depressing!)
I love sunlight and long days. In an effort to appease me, Andrew suggested that we move somewhere between the Tropic of Cancer and the Tropic of Capricorn. The sounded pretty good to me! But then he reminded me that there aren't any stable economic systems or governments to be found there -- so back to southeast Ohio.
I saw cars this morning with their headlights on. It was 6:25 AM. I decided that I am protesting the shorter days by not using my headlights! It's not necessary (yet). When it becomes a matter of safety, I will use them.
Sigh -- well, I guess now all there is to look forward to is Dec. 22 -- the shortest day of the year -- because from that day on, the days will get longer!!! :)
