We have indeed come a LONG WAY from the ‘Winter Solstice‘ (which was on December 21, 2022).

As you can see from the chart above sunsets were happening around 4:11pm!

That was 144 days ago — i.e., 4 months, 3 weeks …

We have gained nearly 170 minutes of daylight! 170 minutes. 2 hours 50 minutes.

It will continue to get better. We have ANOTHER 30 minutes to go! Around the ‘Summer Solstice‘ in about 5 weeks sunsets will be at 8:30pm. Wow. THEN COMES WINTER. I kid you not. After the Summer Solstice it is all downhill –heading pell mell into winter. So enjoy, rejoice, soak it in.


I am posting this at 8:28pm & we still have some twilight. Wow. How wonderful.
