It was perfect. Then I remembered these days would soon be gone. Darkness would descend earlier and earlier. Mankind has always cursed the darkness. Not only do we begin to lose our daylight, but we know what's in store.
Winter is around the corner.
What had been a profusion of color will become skeletal, dark and gray. The once sunny skies will grow dark and hazy. Light jackets are put away for heavy coats, gloves and boots. The prospect made me feel sad. An estimated 10 million Americans suffer from this clinical depression brought on by an absence of daylight.
