Happy Longerdays, everyone!
Sunset here today is 4:34. By New Year's Eve it will be 4:41. But we'll only add four minutes of daylight, due to that weird phenomenon of sunrise getting later for a while, even as days are lengthening. I know we've talked about that before but I can't remember if anyone could explain it. My best guess is it has to do with our location within the time zone.
In any case, I'll welcome those four extra minutes! And by this time next month, we'll have added more than half an hour!
