Late to bed, early to rise...


makes one wish they could win the lotto, first prize.

I don't know where that came from, it just popped into my head.

The change from daylight savings to regular daylight has meant that it gets dark around 4:30/5:00. That means that if you get up for work at 6:30 it's dark, and you get home from work at 6:30 it's dark. So the winter doldrums aren't too far off. Except that we have Christmas to enjoy before the real doldrums set in. Then we have a winter with snow and, potentially, skating on frozen ponds to enjoy before the doldrums set in. Then we have the evening fires in the woodstove, and watching Logan jump around and play in the deep snow to enjoy before the doldrums set in. Then we have the spring thaw and the budding trees and gardens to enjoy, before the doldrums set in. Then we'll realize that we've passed through winter, before the doldrums set in.

Now, where was the garden again? Was it underneath that large snowbank behind the garage, or the one towards the old stump? In no time we'll have flowers blooming there.
