Yesterday was a beautiful day. The warmest Christmas Day in our area since 1982. When I went out for my morning walk it was 43 degrees. The sun was out, the squirrels were busy and there were plenty of birds including Blue Birds, Jays, Juncos and two or three kinds of Woodpeckers.
My husband, always eager to see what the new day will bring, is usually up well before 6 am and out the door before the sun is up (7:43 am as of yesterday). He commented yesterday morning that it was still so dark and when would the sun start coming up earlier? I looked it up, and although we are past the winter solstice, the sun will not rise earlier until January 9th. For the next two weeks, while the sun is setting later each day (4:50 pm yesterday), it is still also rising later each day. The whole day is shifting.
Ahhh... science.
