It's 4:45 in the afternoon. I looked out the window and realized that it's already pitch black outside. I guess the sun set at 4:07 today. Within a week or two our days will be shorter than the shortest day of the year in Minneapolis, and we will continue to lose a few minutes each day until late December.
The change in the amount of sunlight has fascinated me so far. We moved here when the days were getting longer, we stayed up late on the longest day of the year, and we've watched the sun steadily disappear since then. It's been fun, and it's been a wonderful compliment to the change in seasons that is already fun to watch.
I just hope that I'm still this excited about the lack of light when I haven't seen the sun in three months.

The lack of light will certainly be an adjustment and doesn't sound all that fun. Hang in there you two!
