How many hours of daylight do you have? Are you far enough north to have midnight sun? I enjoyed reading your blog. You are part of the grand energy cycle of this world and beyond.

Pauline, today it's 14 hours and 28 minutes from sunrise to sunset, with 16 hours of daylight, gaining 5 and a half minutes a day.

Holy cow, I just saw that it's 92 degrees in my home town, Tulsa.

Emily,
Come now, you're forgetting to mention that it actually SNOWED yesterday!

Yes, you can have your dreams (and don't we all!) but please don't jump the gun! You may trigger another snowfall...and Lord knows we don't need that!

:) Mellisa

Emily, are you far enough north to have 24 hours of sunlight or 24 hours of darkness at some times of year? As the Beatles said, "Here comes the sun, and I say it's all right."

The arctic circle is north of me. At the longest day, we see twilight at the darkest point, and 20 hours of sunlight. For about three months, there are no stars. At the darkest, we see four hours of sunlight and about six hours total daylight, including twilight. And for about three months, the sun doesn't quite clear the trees.

You're forgetting to factor in the hours eclipse caused by the clouds of mosquitoes...
