Lent Day 2: Daylight

This is a very exciting time in Alaska. Fur Rondy, the best time of the year just past, the Iditarod mushers are starting to reach the halfway point. (Fun fact: the halfway point is a stop called Cripple. Which is a totally accurate name this year, have you been following? It's been ca-razy.) And most importantly, the daylight is returning.

Good thing Simba lived near the equator.

Okay, here in Anchorage, we never have complete darkness in the winter. On the shortest day of the year we have about 5 1/2 hours of daylight. But lemme tell you, that doesn't feel like a lot. Enter: March. We now have more than 10 1/2 hours of daylight, and gaining almost 6 minutes everyday. And it is amazing. Tomorrow is our first 11 hour daylight day. We should celebrate.
