Would you believe that it was still dark enough for a flashlight to be real helpful at seven this morning? The sun is supposed to be putting in an appearance by 7:24 so it is usually quite bright by then. However, it was weirdly gloomy and damp out and stayed dark about as late as I have ever seen it this time of year. We had to turn fans on in the barn that hadn't whirled a blade since early fall, and the air was still heavy. Then by ten AM the sun was shining and it has been lovely ever since. We have made it up to nine hours and fifteen minutes of daylight or what passes for it. Beats December anyhow.
Of course the new camera ate its batteries so I can't go out and take pictures. The chickens very nicely posed in the flower bed this morning, but the batteries were dead when I went out to take their portrait. Guess the lady at the store was right about rechargeables.

I was rather disoriented by the heavy darkness -- it seemed earlier than it really was.
Shucks! I figured that we were in for a visual feast when you got the camera. You have been off the hill to get batteries -- right??
You don't have to get rechargeable batteries if you get Lithium ones, made for cameras. They last a long time, while regular rarely last more than a day or two.
