canyonwalkerOne of the enjoyable things about June is the days are long. Sunset the past few weeks has been around 8:30pm... which means there's still light in the sky until 9. Sadly, the past few weeks I haven't always been able to enjoy it. Half the time I've been tired early and gone to bed while there's still light in the sky. Thursday evening I even laid down for sleep at 8:30, before actual sunset, I was so tired.
Curiously it reminds me of a snapshot memory I have from my childhood. I remember one night I was going to bed at my 9pm bedtime, and when I looked out the window it was still daytime! There was light in the sky with which I could see across our yard, to the street beyond, to the houses across the street and the woods behind them. "How was it still daytime at 9pm that one time?" my child brain wondered for the next few years as I never caught the same perfect alignment of date and time again. Well, now I've seen it again. And sadly it's like I've come full circle. As I'm getting older I'm back to needing a 9pm bedtime some nights. 😔
