Have you noticed how much earlier it's getting lighter in the morning, and how much later it's getting dark? Yes, I know, this isn't exactly stop-the-presses material, but it just seems more dramatic to me this winter for some reason.
It used to be utterly pitch-dark at 7:05, when the boys next door catch the school bus. Now the sun is already over the horizon and I can actually see the school bus arriving, not just its running lights (this morning it had to jockey with a propane delivery truck on my narrow road).
And it seems like just a few weeks ago the sun would've been close to setting by 4 p.m., when I'm writing this item. It's still light and it will be til 5.
