Sky!

Being able to sit out on the screenporch eating cherries for three hours as the sun sets, and experience an awe-inspiring thunderstorm with the lightning bugs dancing under it, was almost worth the heat we've had so far this week. ...almost. What's the world doing where you are, this Solstice week?

It's getting dark really early in the Appalachian foothills, which I don't remember it doing when I lived out here. I don't know if it's being 150 miles east of what I'm used to or the ridges blocking out the sun once it goes down behind them or what. It was usable twilight until quarter to ten in the western part of the state, but it was pretty much done by five after nine over here.

I know it can depend a lot on how the shadows fall in mountain country, but I've never really stopped to apply that to the Appalachians. It's so easy to just not notice...
