The back of our home faces the rising sun on the longest day of the year – NorthEast-ish. So, mid-June, the whole house is filled with natural light starting at about 5am.
I love it.
The angle of our home to the sun also provides us with a sun marker – or sun dagger – that shines on our rock fireplace-surround around Feb 1 every year. If the weather is cloudy, we don’t see it for a few days. But we always look forward to sun dagger coming back. It is our family’s harbinger that springtime is drawing near.
Today was bright and sunny. The sun rose at 7:53am. Eight minutes later, I saw this.
As my middle daughter said, “Springtime is not a myth!”
No, indeed. It is not a myth. The light has come back and is growing.
Nature, every day.
