Sunglasses At Night

"I wear my sunglasses at night.
So I can so I can,
See the light that's right before my eyes...

I can't believe it...
It can't escape you...

I said I wear my sunglasses.
I wear my sunglasses at night.
Wear my sunglasses at night..."

The Summer Solstice, June 22, is quickly approaching us here in the northern part of the northern hemisphere. This event is currently giving us 18 hours and 5 minutes of daylight. Even better, our length of visible light is 20 hours 45 minutes and increases almost 4 minutes a day up to the solstice! That's right...we are left with a measly 3 hours 14 minutes of true darkness. We have invested in blackout blinds AND blackout curtains. Still the sunlight finds the smallest cracks and holes to greet us each morning around 4 am! The picture above was taken at 2230 last night.

The greatest challenge through all this is trying to explain to 2 toddlers why they have to go to bed when the sun is still up. So far we have been successful even though their bedtime is now 9 to 9:30 pm.
