4:29

I look outside and see black outlines of trees against a rapidly darkening grey sky. The rain came hammering down about fifteen minutes ago - our roof was like one big bass drum being played by hundreds of enthusiastic percussionists. And it is only November. So now my countdown begins. It is 47 days until winter solstice - the shortest day (and longest night) of the year. Then the days start getting longer, and we're on the uphill slope towards next summer!

Did you get hail? We did, about 2:00. I'm with you on the solstice countdown...can't come soon enough. Though, I must say I am glad Jason is not walking to the bus stop in the dark at 7 a.m. anymore.
