There is something special about the quality of light at this time of year. It’s soft. Golden. The sun dips lower and lower and barely makes it above our trees. In the morning the light sifts through the trees creating glorious sunbeams. It shines through droplets of water leftover from the previous night’s rain, and a spider’s web.
The pool, now closed for the winter, never makes it into the full sunlight.
The hours of sunlight we can count on having each day get fewer and fewer. Night falls faster and faster. The sun is reluctant to wake up. Prepare to spend more time inside it seems to be saying.
The moon takes over the sun’s job and also rises through the trees, bathing the yard in its pale shimmery light.
I don’t know about you but I am taking in all of this golden light that I can!
