The solstices are the longest and shortest days of the year...it seems contradictory that we start getting less sun at the beginning of Summer and start getting more sun at the beginning of Winter...

But like John Prine said..."That's the Way that the World Goes Around"

What a coincidence!

My days are lengthening and, by some bizarre phenomena, by the same amount of time that yours are shortening.



And, no. You can't have them back. :raspberry:

It was no surprise, just a PITA as I was trying to get the garden watered and ran out of daylight. (I probably ran out on June 21, also. :) )

I’ve got customers that didnt expect the grass to start growing this spring too. Big surprise when their mower needed service that day.
