We've come to a milestone, friends! Today is the earliest sunset of the year...at 4:35 pm in my area. It will stay there for 5 days and then on the 11th, sunset will be at 4:36!
Of course, the sunrises will continue to come later, but just for about 15 days and then they'll start getting earlier! Tell that to my cat, though. She still lives by the clock, and wants me up before 7 am!
I don't get why it works this way. Why would the day continue shortening on just one end while remaining static at the other?
I've been counting the days to Longerdays, then multiplying them by two, to get the entire span of time we'll have to endure these really short days. So for example the solstice is two weeks from today, meaning we are entering the darkest month (technically four weeks) of the year.
Longerdays can't come soon enough for me!
