Every year at this time I begin to get a little panicked. I'll calm down in several weeks. Resigned, I think we can call it. Looking out the window at midday will help but first I have to get thru some final weeks of the growing season. Nice, calm September days to be outdoors will help.
This is the furthest north I have ever lived. After nearly 50 years, the changes in daylength still take quite a bit of adjusting since they seem to occur at breakneck speed.
I feel the loss of daylight as tho' something precious has been taken from me. Sunrise is over an hour later now than it was on July first. Sunsets catch me off guard ...
The weather predictions are for pleasant conditions after we get thru a little wind and maybe some rain tomorrow evening. I can feel the gardens gearing down as nighttime temperatures are dropping below 50°f.
Frost and its sad aftermath won't be here, just yet.
