Sorry for the lack of blog posts lately. I am in the midst of a busy period at school, with three exams this week.
The start of this week felt like the first true day in the path to winter - not necessarily because it was cold or we saw frost, but because I really started to notice the sun rising later and the sun setting earlier.
I woke up at about 6:40 a.m. this morning, and the sun still had not risen yet. The sky was beginning to lighten a bit, but it was still rather dark. The sun officially rose at 6:55 a.m. in Middlebury, VT today. And when I finished my track practice at 7 p.m. today, it was already dark, as the sun had set at 6:25 p.m. Once we get into October, the amount of daylight really starts to decrease. By the end of the month, the sun will not rise until 7:28 a.m. And after the clocks shift backwards by 1 hour on November 1st, the sun will set at 4:42 p.m.
While we still have plenty of daylight and nice weather, it is important to take advantage of it - cause it will not last!
