I was down in Portland yesterday afternoon, and came home around 4:30 – in the dark!!
Every year it takes a while to get used to the shortening of the days, which accelerates when we set our clocks back. By 1 PM, the day seems “old”. Shadows are cold and long and the welcomed warmth of the daylong sunshine is sucked up in the rapidly approaching darkness. I light a fire and cheer up.
I though I posted a substantial, erudite response to your blog but now it doesn’t seem to be here.Were my pithy remarks deemed unworthy…was I rejected…cast aside…ignored? Are my feelings not like those of any other reader?You selfish bastard!
