Thankful Thursday

I am thankful for sunlight. Today, we had 12 seconds more daylight than on the Solstice! Shyla's spies the sun peeking over a ridge to our southeast.

 

It was below zero degrees and windy. The wind was blowing our fresh snow through the air, creating a small ground blizzard. But, the sun made it look warm, right?


We didn't stay still for long. I think that Shyla was staring at me to urge me to move!



She was thrilled when it was time to sprint!


From now until spring, I'll be rejoicing in every single second of added daylight. More sunlight makes me so happy!

  4. While it has been pretty grey here the last few days we are also glad the days are getting longer. It is unusually warm after a very cold week. 🤷🏻‍♀️

  12. We love sunny days but we also love the short days this time of year. It forces us to slow down, relax more, and it makes for a cozy feeling. We don't like the long days of summer because we feel like we need to be up early and busy until so late, but everyone has their thing. Somewhere in the middle would be ideal! Merry Christmas Eve!

  14. Perhaps a cuppa something warm was in your near future. I imagine Shyla's a lot warmer running than posing! Mery Christmas to you all.

  15. We always like to celebrate the Winter Solstice as the last short day of the year. I'm also going to appreciate every extra daylight minute!

  16. We had a very sunny, but cold, day here today. The sun so lifts the spirits. AND makes the dogs happy when I am willing to brave the cold and walk them. Merry Christmas to you and the Runner, Shyla and Hachi too.

  17. Sunny and cold here, without the snow (alas). Shyla sure is a snow bunny! I'm kind of with the GBGV pack - the short days of winter counterbalance those long, drawn-out summer days. I guess I really like the seasonality of life at this latitude. Merry Christmas to all who celebrate it!

    Cheers,
    Chris from Boise

  18. I crave sunlight so much! Our November and December have been very dark and dreary. I can take the cold and the snow, but too many cloudy days just really bring down my energy level. I'm always glad to get to the other side of the solstice!
