I used to complain about the sun "setting" at 3:30 (it actually drops behind the mountains so there is some light for another hours or so) until Robin moved in next door. She suffers from SAD and comes every winter, staying through the end of February/early March. Her "real" home is Fairbanks, AK. Even on our coldest days, Robin can be found knitting on her deck, soaking up the sun. Your photo explains why she leaves family and friends for three months to live near me.<br /><br />I don't complain anymore.Suzi Dowhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08678740345143212001noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14194867.post-2435047948889018342009-12-22T02:05:23.274-09:002009-12-22T02:05:23.274-09:00Happy solstice :).
