Long, long days!!

Newgate · ‎09-05-2014

Every year at this time I start to feel the same way about too much daylight! I like the longer summer days but at this point it is just too much for me. It makes me feel so restless. In 3 more days they will start to get shorter again. My favorite time for darker is about 7:00 p.m. I then start to relax more! Any opinions?

My Daddy was a fireman and loved the long summer days. In the winter he'd go to work in the dark and come home in the dark.

I keep on dancin'

I like that it's light until 8:30 pm or so but hate that at 5:15 am it's like the middle of the day. As you say, next week the days will start to get shorter.

I swear, for the last couple of weeks or so, I have been saying EXACTLY what you said. I find myself feeling annoyed that it's still light after 7 and then 8 and past 8:30. Too much. I really just thought it was me.

Love the shorter days. Summer here in Arizona just drags on for months. The shorter days mean cooler weather will be here eventually. Something to look forward to. 😀

@Newgate , You're not wrong.

Personally, I love long bright summer days with late sundowns....always have.

Funny though, when they begin to get noticably shorter and the cicada and crickets start buzzing - the change in the air is palpable.

I feel like you can smell Fall nipping at the suntanned heels of Summer....that is the time of year I always get a bit sad. Nostalgic as well.

Kinda like when I was a kid and it meant Summer was over and SCHOOL (blech) was right around the corner.

No more going down the shore, no more hanging out at Haddontowne Pool, no more biking through Haddonfield all day....no more anything fun.....

@Newgate I know I am in the minority...but I have never been a summer person. I love the fall and wish it could last 6 months. Cooler weather and shorter days just feel better to me. So no you are not alone....
