Do you ever hear the phrase, the dead of summer? No.
But things are looking up. Anyone who knows me understands that I detest daylight savings time. I hate getting into my car after work at 5 p.m. in pitch black. I hate feeling like it's midnight at 7:30 p.m. The shorter days suck. (Yeah, that's as eloquent as I'm going to get in my pouty-post.)
With January here, we've only got two and a half more months of winter. But the best part is that I can tell the days are stretching out a little bit longer as the weeks pass.
When I hopped into my vehicle this evening, it was 5:15 p.m. And there was still a bit of sunlight lingering on the horizon. I watched it sneak out of view. But the fact that I saw it happen is big. Spring is coming, am I too soon on this yet?

I'm the same way with waiting for the longer days. There was something really cozy about it getting dark at 5 when I was a kid, and now it just makes me feel like I should be in bed.
