I love the lingering twilight of a Nebraska summer, when it seems it stays light so long.
That is, until I went to Alaska for two weeks and grew accustomed to only a glimmering of darkness and mostly light. When we were in Bethel, the sun set about 12:30 a.m. but it never got completely dark before the sun would come up again around 4. (I’m guessing here — I was not awake for the sunrise part.)
I’m glad to be back home with my dog and my shower and my couch and my bed. But I do miss the light. And the horizon of Bethel. And the mountains of Seward. And the group of people I spent so much time with. That light I will carry with me.
We missed you today. Looking forward to seeing you in the morning. I want to get donuts for the class, but since I am likely up until 2:00 AM, I don’t see that happening
I like going to bed while it’s light out! It makes it feel indulgent…like you’re taking an afternoon nap! 🙂
