Halloween many years ago Mom would take us kids and neighbor kids around on Halloween in the car. In a dark alley, she must've counted excited kids in the car and thought mine was one of them. As she began to drive away, I grabbed the door handle yelling, "Let me in, let me in!" It was only seconds before she realized but to me, it was forever.
We told the kids Sunday late afternoon as we continued to work in the last juice of daylight, we will now have quick dark nights but early morning light. As tools were gathered and carried into the house, I heard scratching on the door. Indeed, in a blink of an eye it had turned dark and I thought I heard the frantic, "Let me in, let me in!"
Dark isn't their favorite while outside, we stand post on the deck and welcome the extra hour. Enjoy your extra hour.
Take care friends.
