wild storm
then power out for 700,000
can’t stop this from shining through
after experiencing
every kind of spring/fall/winter weather front
in the span of a single whirlwind of a day
there is new light
in the early morning
with
a quiet dusting of snow on the ground
clouds in the sky
streaks of blue
and
a moon hanging high
we’ll try again.

‘every moment of light and dark is a miracle.’

kinder create
then it’s all dark
turn on the black light
their art comes alive
like magic.

We lost 38 seconds of daylight yesterday. By the end of the month, we’ll be losing over 2 minutes each day and by the end of next month, nearly 20 minutes per week. Here’s what you can expect as you savor the waning days of Michigan’s warm season:
July: -45 minutes lost
August: -1 hour 16 minutes lost
September: -1 hour 22 minutes lost
October: -1 hour 23 minutes lost
November: -1 hour 1 minute lost
It won’t be long until you have an extra 6 hours of darkness to spend on your indoor hobbies. Have a great Monday.
