It is 7:17 and seven degrees.I have read every seed catalogue, seven times.The sap will be running soon, and I will have a new goal to work on, tapping trees.Every day Bob watches the news and reads to me the increased,daylight. February 3 at our latitude is when we're back to 10 hours of daylight, everything is better with more day light.  Tonight I made the Big Boys wait at the gate a bit longer,before dinner.The Belgians are very much regulated by the sunlight,or lack their of.
