The sun is up before us (morning twilight was 5:33 a.m. today) and sets way after we’ve gone to bed (evening twilight ended at 12:32 a.m.). Some, we’ve heard, can’t stand it. Us? We love it!
We’ve heard the term “Eskimo time.” It seems to be an age-old term that has to do with the sun. When the days become long and light-filled, there are many more hours in which to do things. So, one might get up and go hunting or gather eggs, then take a nap, and later go back out and do something else.
The sunshine allows for many hours in which to get things done and allows for many different paces.
During the school year, when the school dictates what time teachers and students arrive and depart, there is definitely an energy disconnect. The students play out until they are ready to go home, with no concern for the clock. I think some teachers do the same. As for us, we’ve barricaded the light from our bedroom and try to go to bed with a book, a crossword, or an old TV show in order to trick ourselves into winding down into the night. So far, it’s working.
This trickery only need continue for a few more weeks till the end of school. After that, we, too, can join others around us and live in Eskimo time.

Wow, your days are so long already! It’s still nearly two months until the longest day of the year (AKA, the day before school’s out–HA! just kidding, it’s actually the day we finalize class lists for the next year).
The Woodruffs were in Ashland, OR, for spring break, and snow fell overnight on the hills outside of town. It was soooooo pretty.
I love your antler photo. It almost looks like it’s in black and white, but then the shadows are bluish and the antlers have some browns in them. Awesome!
