Light

It's time to bring out the lights.

Here on the eastern edge of the eastern time zone, it gets dark at like noon * . . . 

* okay, four, but still . . . 

. . . so we do the things we always do this time of year . . . 

We put up lights inside . . . 

. . .  we put up lights outside . . . 

. . . we put on heat outside . . .

. . . and we surround ourselves with flowers.

Things get hard. So we do what we can to counteract.

We light the place up.
