Pushing Back the Dark

As time makes its inevitable march forward, the winter solstice falls further behind us. With each passing day we gain another minute or 2 of daylight at each end of the day. It's nice to go out in the morning and not have to either bring a flashlight or leave a bit later so we can be seen in the off chance a car happens to be coming down our street, which doesn't happen very often on our little loop off the "main" road.

Unfortunately the forest is still blocked by a wall of hard, frozen snow so our walks have been confined to our road instead. Though Beyla still enjoys scaling the snowbank to check things out. Must be nice having full-time four wheel drive. :)
