As much as I love the extra hour of sleep that daylight savings brings, I really dread this time of year, as the days get shorter and shorter. It got dark around 5 pm today. And I'm sorry. But that's just really early.
So I've been starting to compile a list of things I can do to keep my spirits high with all this extra darkness:
1. Puppy hide-and-seek
where is winslo??2. Work on my poorly lit indoor photo skills:
(woah blurry. so glad i have 25 of these to remind me of saturday night!)
3. Spend more time in my craft room ::ahem:: with my craft tub. I know I've been a much more deliberate crafter now that it's cooler, but it's time to really get down to business and work on those Christmas presents!
(and yes, this is my craft room. this and a shelf and my sewing machine... and a few plastic drawers. i have a serious addiction to craft supplies!)
5. Experiment with light writing, Chicago-style!
6. Start my search for the perfect ornament for Micaela's Ornament Swap. Did you join in?
Whew. Looks like I have enough to keep me busy for a while!
How do you plan on spending your chilly late-fall evenings?
5 note(s):
I definitely need to get my hands on some good books to read. And over here we play kitty hide-and-go-seek. Besides that, there's always schoolwork and I think I'll use the time to write. I can't wait until the daylight starts creeping back again.
Of course I joined in the ornament swap (I'm so excited!) And I'm going to be spending these dark evenings working on our living room reno, writing Christmas cards and thinking about getting out all the twinkle lights!
oh i know! sunny early mornings are awesome and helpful, but dark early evenings, not so much. i sort of feel like the day ends when it gets dark, so in the winter i don't get much done. :) but we have a nice fire pit, so when it's not raining, we could sip hot drinks by the fire. and i need a new book. and i suppose i could be making christmas gifts. okay, so i guess there's plenty to do! :)
and yes to the ornament swap! can't wait to get started.
I'm feeling exactly the same way about Daylight Savings Time- I'm NOT appreciating how dark it gets 'round these parts!
I plan on spending a lot of time drinking hot chocolate and watching movies all curled up on my couch- I find that coziness makes Winter's darkness seem totally bearable.
i really struggle with daylight savings time too. i HATE that it is already dark when i get home from work!! i love all of your ideas! and i'm thinking i should probably get involved with that ornament swap - how fun!!
