Yup, I’ll agree. They voted last year, again. But I think it did pass so I don’t know what the hold up is. I’m dreading November 6th when we fall back and the dark is so early. Doesn’t make me anxious unless I have to drive in it. Which is more likely after November. And doesn’t make me depressed but it is like a dark shroud descended and muted the color, dulled the shine and took some of the taste out of the world. Not to mention the subzero temperatures that come with it. Mother Nature is mean, winter here last 6 months, summer 4 months, leaving spring and fall a measly 2 months. more than half the time winter steals and extra month! Giving the two best seasons such a short time.

From November 6th until December 21st I dread the shorter and shorter days. 6 long, long weeks of dark and cold. Oh I know there’s thanksgiving and football 🏈. Neither are much to me. Thanksgiving has always been a chore and I hate football. Christmas comes after the solstice just as the days start getting longer. An to be truthful I do enjoy the lights, the decorations but Christmas itself is also a chore. From December 21st until March is a bitter cold but hopeful time as days get brighter. Finally in March the dreaded cold starts to thaw. And real hope blossoms.
