The days are noticeably longer with sunset now almost 6:00 p.m. (5:52 today). I enjoy the dark winter days around Christmas but by mid-January I am happy to have more light.

Saturday was gray and we had a wee bit of Winter with a skiff of blowing snow in an afternoon squall, but today the sun came out and the skiff did not last long.

Bear and I enjoyed the late afternoon sun and fresh air: Sunday Afternoon.

**Bob was out earlier on his own and declined an invitation to join Bear and I. He was snoring in the light box cat house :) !
