Shorter days, longer nights.

Slightly less than a week from the Fall equinox and sunset is now at 7:45 or thereabouts – 2 hours later than mid-summer. And it goes from light to dusk to dark faster with the lower sun angle. While the temperatures have been trying to imitate summer reaching into the low to mid-80’s, it takes all day to get there and about the time it does, it starts back down.

The days and evenings have been very pleasant and the nights wonderfully cool.

Our last walk tonight started at 7:30 and by the time we dawdled around the loop it was nearly 8 and on the dark side of dusk as we came back through the woods.

The work day, unlike the daylight, is lasting a bit longer. But, a dinner break, an evening walk and I get a bit of a second wind.

Karl is not a fan of evening work hours as those are typically his time. He prefers me to be on the floor with him, tossing a toy or just being near while he chews on a bone. Tonight, after a bit of that, I snuck back to my chair and all was companionable for a little late work…
