Hibernation has started with the onset of freezing temps and more darkness than I can stand. So I’ve started counting down to longer days and warmer months!

Countdown to Winter Solstice

The days start to get longer…

This is important, because while it is still cold and dark, the days officially start getting longer. Even if only by seconds, it is the start of the journey toward more time with the sun.

Countdown to the Start of Daylight Saving Time

Yes, that pesky time change thing…

Sure, we may “lose” an hour, but we gain more awake time with the sun (especially those of us who aren’t really morning people).

Countdown to the First Summer-ish Month

Dreaming of Summer…

Living in Texas, I used to think that April should be a summer-ish month. But I realized I was complaining a lot in April about how cold it was. So I re-framed April to a winter month and accepted May as the first month of summer-ish weather. So… here’s to warmer days (finally)!

Countdown to the Official First Day of Summer

Summer has officially arrived!

And while this is a great day to countdown to, it is also the beginning of that fateful slide… but let’s not think about that and enjoy the long daylight hours, warm weather, and late evening sunsets.
