Sunny Days (and Nights)


Well, it's that time of year again, when your body never really knows what time it is.  When the sun comes up at just after 4 am and goes down just shy of 10 pm you tend to lose track of time.  It is nothing to be reading, on the computer  and or working around the house and look up and be shocked that it is 9:30 when you were sure it was closer to 6:30.  It is also shocking when you get up in the middle of the night to use the bathroom and the sun is jabbing painfully into your retinas.

I noticed the other day that none of the ball diamonds in town have lights.  It took me a few minutes to realize that nobody plays baseball past 10:30 at night when it actually gets dark.  It takes a long time to get used to the extended daylight hours, but it sure is wonderful to have the extra time to do whatever it is you like to do.  Especially if you like doing it outdoors.
