I was just about to type out another post when I looked out at my yard and realized it was already semi-dark despite it being a few minutes after 20:00 hours. But then I remembered that we are already in the late stages of July and thus, sunset is now noticeably sooner than its summer peak.
It’s bittersweet for sure. Especially because I was thinking a few days ago about how I missed the peacefulness and quiet of winter. Every season truly does have its own beauty. The peak of summer here is often met with groans of discontent because of how much backyard, swimming pool, and overall maintenance has to be done to counter the effects of hot weather. But it’s still beautiful nonetheless.
They say that you don’t appreciate something until it becomes a memory and in this case for this summer, it certainly was true. As my automatic dark sensing houselights come on, I can’t help but wish I did a little more to enjoy the peak daylight hours. This July really went faster than I expected.
