The back of our home faces the rising sun on the longest day of the year – NorthEast-ish. So, mid-June, the house is filled with natural light starting at about 5:30am. 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 of springtime 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.
