Internal clock issues!

There's just no way it's only 8:48! Even with the time change early this morning, it still feels like it's after 11:00 to me. As nice as it'll be to have light in the morning again when I'm getting up, I can tell already that having it this dark by 6:00 or earlier is going to really trip me up.

I think part of the wierdness is that it's so much darker here in the first place. It's never been this dark anyplace else I've lived, with the possible exception of when I was on internship. So when night falls at six, it's darker here than it was in the middle of the night back in St. Paul. It just feels so much later.

But I'm looking forward to the winter, believe it or not. Maybe I'll be whistling a different tune in a few months, but I remember liking Litchville in the snow when I came to visit in January. There's a beauty to the place that the snow brings out. And if we get a frost at any point this year like when Dad and I were visiting... WOW is all I can say. I'll have to dig the camera out for that.

Speaking of digging the camera out, I need to post a pic I took yesterday. The wild turkeys were out for a stroll - several dozen of them - in my yard and the neighbors'. Crazy birds! I couldn't get too close to them, but I think the pic gives the general idea. Look for it in the next few days, hopefully.

That's it for now. I think tonight will be a good night to go to bed early. Tomorrow I'll be brining the car in for some long overdue maintenance and to get it ready for the winter.
