Precious Daylight



I have been despairing at the shortening daylight.  I rush out the door at the end of work.  I make sure I am parked at the end of the driveway so no one is blocking me in.  When I get home, I run upstairs to get changed, and right back out the door with the dogs to get outside for a walk before the sun goes down.  My daughter suggested I flex my time - why not switch my hours around?  Great idea.

So, starting today until Daylight Savings Time ends at the end of the month, I shifted my day at least a half hour earlier.  Yippee, I was off to the fields to enjoy the sunshine and changing leaves.


I love the color
of these berries, and the ladybug.


The most
vivid red I've seen so far this Fall.


I loved the way
the setting sun made the ferns glow.  Thank you, Daughter, for the afternoon sunlit walk.
