How fast the colors fade

It’s Beautiful Out Now in … New York State
This time of year the mornings are quite dark.
This time of year the mornings are quite dark. Sunrise isn’t until after 7:20 each day, making getting up and going to work a challenge. Camping means getting up in darkness, but at least it makes it easier to get out in the field before dawn when hunting.
In two and a half weeks the time will change, giving us a little extra sun in the morning in exchange for less sun in the evening. Soon though it will be pitch black at five. Mornings already are getting increasingly cold, almost warranting turning the heat on – and certainly at camp sitting by the heater warming ones hands.
Fortunately a hot cup of coffee and breakfast on the camp stove can help overcome the darkness. Morning still breaks, it’s just later then I would like. Eventually the seasons will change, spring will happen and summer days will return.
