Daylight Hazard. With summer solstice approaching on June 21st, our daylight hours increase greatly every day. Right now we are up to 19 hours from sun-up to sun-down, but after the sun sets it is still dusky for a long time. This is great for our plants and our spirits, but it makes it hard to watch TV in a room that is all windows. This picture is Sophie trying to watch her favorite show and cut the glare on the screen. See her hand sticking out of the blanket? Another hazard of so much daylight is our eating schedule gets out of whack. It is quarter til ten at night right now and we are cooking dinner on the grill.
