Today we are in the shift…from the longest night of the year, where darkness drags on and on
Where shadows grow long early in the day
and swirl heavily into the evening
But gradually, ever so slowly, the daylight hours will stretch
(Coyote visiting our yard 😦 )
And the night time minutes grow shorter and shorter
Sunlight will stretch a few seconds longer and longer each and every day
Until the seconds become minutes
Then the minutes will become an hour
At which time we reach Daylight Saving time, where we have a full hour added to our daily Sunlight
But even though the days grow longer,
For two full months, January and February
The days will grow colder and colder
Hopefully with moisture
Called snow.

We are in the 60s right now but, the temps drop overnight. Our mountains are already getting snow with that big storm moving across TN. We've been rained on and had tornado warnings going off around 4pm. They were actually east of here but, we got the notices, anyway.

We did alright. The warnings were really for the areas past Fayetteville (Fort Bragg area).
We are in the 20s, now and it’s headed to the teens. Got all the faucets on drip.
Love you! ❤

This time of year is a challenge for us…so dark and dreary some days, today we have a blizzard. Only snow no sun and it is cold. Good thing we can stay home today…I may shovel some later.
Merry Christmas!! 🙂

I like it that the day are now starting to grow longer — I just want them to grow warmer, but that’s going to have to wait a while. I hope you get a good amount of moisture over the next two months.

Thank you, George. We are critical in the moisture department. They are saying we will be starting at 40% if the snows don’t come.
