Weeks of rain, interrupted briefly by foggy, heavily-clouded days here and there has created one depressed Laney. It never fails; when I think I have conquered the beast of fall malaise, angst, doldrums, blues...whatever you want to call it.. it rears its ugly head again. The trigger usually occurs simultaneously with end of daylight savings time. By then, the days have already grown shorter and the sun sets earlier. By 5:30, it is completely dark.
The beautiful colors of the dogwood, poplar, and maples in our yard usually delay the feeling until the trees are bare..if I can at least see the sun. But there has been only one sunny day in weeks. I crave it like a thirsty man wandering in the desert. I dread the inevitable....winter is coming.
