Light

 

Tonight it will be just a little darker in my house since the window candles have been stored away.  

On January 1  sunrise was at 7:57 am and sunsest was 5:26 pm.  Today sunrise was 7:14 am and sunset will be 6:26 pm.  It  feels like time to put away the candles that brought a little extra light into the darker days.  

Just because it amuses me, I like to look back and find that it's 66 days past the winter solstice.  Sixty-six days prior to the solstice it was October 16.  If my math is right.

Looking forward, Daylight Savings Time starts on March 9.

Enough of that.  You may be looking at the Christmas quilt in the background and thinking that it should be swapped out.  You would be right.
