Yes, I know the Earth rotates, etc.

Just noticing the sunsets are coming earlier and the natural light through the hatchway to do projects is just not there much after 6 pm [I am in central CA]. It is getting harder to squeeze in outdoor stuff in daylight on weekdays.

Goodbye, Mr. Sun, I look forward to you're staying longer next summer.

yea, in a couple of months it'll be light at 9 am and sunset at 3 pm. Will be that way till the end of Feb.

just takes a bit of getting used to, that's all.

grrrrrrrrr ... the amateur astronomer in me is going to jump up and down and scream if anyone says "rotation" has something to do with seasons one more time...

The start of rains again after the summer drought gives me warning that I'll need to find my jacket and long pants within a couple of months...

PS. Days have been getting shorter for three months now. They'll start getting longer again around Christmas.
