broke the 10 hour mark!

In sunlight that is! We are up to 10hrs and 5 minutes of sunlight and gaining sun fast - close to 2.5 minutes a day! And, what is more, we are now closer (by a day or so) to the spring equinox. The “cross quarter day” was yesterday, Feb 4, which is based on the time at which the Earth reaches that point in its orbit which is exactly midway between its positions at the solstice and the subsequent equinox. I guess that is probably why Ground Hogs day is Feb 2. You all probably thought of that before. Me? it only took 42 years to figure that one out. I blame it on having a frozen brain each year at this time of the year.
