The days are getting longer!

I'm so excited the days are getting longer, and while I'm not reading a book outside (brrr - way too cold for that, anyway) at 9:30 p.m. yet, I noticed at 5:30 p.m. today, that it wasn't pitch dark outside.  Yipee!!  But, it's cold and snowy, still. After all, it's January in Northern Michigan!
