Which means we still get daylight here in Southcentral Alaska, just not much or very bright. The sunrise is at 9:53 and the sunset is 3:48 and between now and the solstice we lose about 30 seconds a day and obviously that pattern reverses itself after solstice. December and January end up being the gloomiest months especially when there is a low cloud cover or fog like there was today. I did happen to snap this picture when the fog moved away from the back deck, but it wasn't long before it surrounded us once again.
Bryant, having spent 3 1/2 weeks in the Mexican sunshine, decided he needed to lighten up the outdoors and spent some time hanging Christmas lights on the front porch, fence, and the garage. I added a few more indoors, plus a Christmas tree, and other decorations, so we've managed to create an atmosphere of good cheer for the holiday season and through the darkest days.
