Spring A Hope

I am at my computer and its 17:30 and I still haven’t had to put on my lights. The first time I noticed the longer days I was on a train to Payerne a week or so ago and I was amazed at the time of day and light.

Between Christmas and the end of January the darkness at night seemed to arrive all at the same time, but now that is changing.

Before Christmas I like the long days. Curtains can be drawn, hot cups of tea steeped. Sweats and fuzzy slippers warm the body.

But as February approach I look forward to spring and the longer days are even a better harbinger than a robin.

However, spring still is a long way off. It’s just the drape drawing and tea brewing takes place later in the day.
