Brrrr...

"A moment, and its glory was no more. The sun went down beneath the long dark lines of hill and cloud which piled up in the west an airy city, wall heaped on wall, and battlement on battlement; the light was all withdrawn; the shining church turned cold and dark; the stream forgot to smile; the birds were silent; and the gloom of winter dwelt on everything." ~Charles Dickens

Well, I'm officially sick of it getting dark and cold by 6 p.m. everyday.

So much for nice evening strolls or a brisk walk around the block after work. Nope. It's semi-dark when I leave the office and pitch black by 5:30.

So this is my BOO to winter. While I love the cold and I love the snow (skiing!), I'd love to have more light to enjoy it by. And, yes, I'm aware we have the same amount of light now as we did before the change - but I'm NOT a morning person. I don't do 6 a.m. walks. I do 6 a.m. sleeping.

Here's looking forward to spring - if nothing else but for the extra daylight.
