At 3:31 pm my Sundial app will croak like a frog. This is my alert that it is one hour before sunset. This means it is time for evening chores. Feed and get the animals ready for bed.

Sunset is a minute sooner each day and I hate it. I feel lost on these short days. I don't know how to manage my time. It feels like I get up and feed, feed myself, start an indoor project then it is right back outside to feed again.

I am longing for longer days. More light. More sun. More day. More time. We have been counting down the days till the Winter Solstice. 3 more days.

The Winter Solstice happens twice yearly, once in each hemisphere (Northern and Southern). For that hemisphere, the winter solstice is the day with the shortest period of daylight and longest night of the year, when the Sun is at its lowest daily maximum elevation in the sky. ... The winter solstice occurs during the hemisphere's winter.

I am so ready to welcome back the light. ☀️
