When I was a girl, my mom always cautioned me when I was upset or began fretting about things at night. She maintained that everything would seem better in daylight. And she's right, at least from my point of view. Darkness limits my perspective and I tend to think in flat dimension at night. The morning brings clarity and additional vision - both literally and figuratively. And then when the sun shines, it's even better.
I'm trying to think of all the songs that agree with me -- "Let the Sunshine" (5th Dimension), "Sunshine on my Shoulder" (John Denver), "Ain't No Sunshine" (Jose Feliciano). Can you think of any? Do you have any thoughts on this subject?
I've been writing a lot about my roses and the evil, evil rabbits. Here are three photos.
Yellow David Austin Rose
Knockout Rose in Full Flush -- this photo does not do it justice
And finally, have a silly weekend!!!

Living in the Pac. NW you really feel the lack of sunlight. I know for me it effects my mood. Jan/Feb/March are the hardest months to get through. I've thought about geting one of those lights but I'm not quite that effected by it. I know others here that really are.
One of my favorite sayings is: "Make hay in the sunshine" but my natural inclinations to be a slacker is another subject.
"Walking on Sunshine" by Katrina and the Waves - great song. I'll think of more tonight at 3:00am
I am affected by lack of sunlight to some degree. Aren't most people? It was dreary all day here,and finally at 2:15, the sun popped out,and I feel better.
Have a great wknd!
Your flowers are beautiful. Those David Austin's - so elegant.
Your roses are so pretty. You've had much more rain than we have - we've only had 3" this month.
Cloudy weather makes me lazy - I want to hibernate until the sun returns.
Your evil bunny is so cute!
"Sunshine, Lollipops, and Roses" by Leslie Gore.... showing my age now!
"You are my sunshine"
"We will sing in the sunshine"...Bobby Gentry... another oldie but goodie.
Here comes the sun... the Beatles..
And who knew this day would start with rain? Not me. It looks like the sun is shining now. Yes!
I started to leave a comment here Sat night when Debbi surprised me. So here I am back on Monday morning.
I too think things always have a way of looking better in the morning.
My favorite sunshine song is one that Lena mentioned,
You Are my Sunshine!!
The turtle might be disruptive to your garden but how cool to have turtle eggs!!
