Last Monday, I slept in till 7 - and when I awoke, the sun was already shining... strongly. On clear days, even through the blinds, the sun has a different, warmer feel.
Mid-afternoon the sun is higher in the sky than it was a few weeks ago. It's still winter out there, but we've moved out of the darkest days, when the sun rose a around 7:40 and set at 4:20 in the afternoon - and we had 8 3/4 hours of daylight then.
Now the sun peers over the horizon around 7:15 AM and sets around 5:25 PM, giving us about 10 1/4 hours of daylight. I really enjoy those longer afternoon hours!
In some parts of Northern Canada, there is total darkness for days - and when the sun again peers over the horizon, people celebrate with a party!
I feel like celebrating sunny days, too!
