season of shadows

 Yesterday I took a rare drive on a rare sunny day. At one point I noticed long shadows of trees extending from one side of the road to the other. It looked like it was about an hour before sunset when it was actually about one o'clock in the afternoon. I couldn't believe it. I turned around and noticed the sun hanging very low in the sky in the southwest. If it was summer time, it would have indeed been about an hour before sunset. It just brought home to me how short and dark the days are this time of year, even on a sunny day. It's not much comfort but in a couple of weeks the days will start to get longer again.
