Darker August nights

Even though the sun is shining and have for the last week (apart from some showers and thunderstorms) I’ve noticed how it has started to get dark again.

Talking to Holly in Houston last week late in the evening I suddenly realised it was dark outside and it was "only" 10 pm. For the last couple of months the sun has just started to set at 10 and now it was dark. Ugh! I don’t want it to get dark again. Holly comforted me by saying: "That is getting darker all over the western world now. But when it does get dark where you live it’s like dark 22 hours a day" Gee, thanks for the sympathy… But you're still the smartest gal I know...

I guess I’m scared of it getting dark again. Last autumn just was horrible. My mood dropped the darker it got and all I wanted to do was to hide under the covers. I know it’s going to happen this year (as always) and I’m so dreading it. Really, why do I live in a country where it’s dark, cold and wet half the year?
