Same old/same old, here. Which isn't so bad

. We may have seen our last 50°f afternoon but getting a little sunshine and blue sky most every day. Despite a 2" snowfall and then 1/2" of rain, it has been dry the last few months - really, since spring.
It is interesting that our gardener on a tropical island is noting the length of day

. RainbowGardener, my daylight is about what yours will be on December 21st! I'd hate to live further north . . .
Since 2/3rds of the population of Canada lives in Ontario and Quebec where the large cities are all south of here, I guess I've pushed the US envelope about as far north as I can without going to Alaska. No, thanks. I'm not saying that I don't like this part of the world but I'm glad I learned how to go to sleep while it is light out in the summer. I really find it difficult to resign myself to so much darkness at this time of year and . . . beyond . . .
Current sunrise, 6:51am; sunset, 4:16pm ~ 9½hrs and on my way to an 8½ hour day . . . And, that's "official." I don't have anywhere close to a level horizon.
