Yay, and thank goodness! Those long nights, starting here at about 4:30 in the afternoon in early December, really started getting us down. Waking up to total darkness was also a bit daunting, and I'd often think about those living farther north from us having even more night time than we did here. And while our sunsets lasted and lasted for sometimes an hour or more compared to the equatorial 5:30 setting sun that was there one minute and gone the next, I'm more than a little relieved that the darkest days are behind us for another year.

Is anyone else longing for spring yet?

Poor Sharon wants to use daffodils in her wedding but is getting married a month too soon. Hopefully we can find some good fake ones at the craft store.

I am ready for spring. I have this nice backyard with a good privacy fence so Jolene can play outside without me having to worry about her too much. I look forward to this summer with the girls because they will be more active and likely running around.
