Light

So I'm up again at 7:30 AM with the sun shining brightly in my face. Because we are in a valley surrounded by mountains it doesn't rise above them until about 6:30 and doesn't fall behind the them until nearly 9 at night, but there is plenty of light before and after that. Cara is having the worst time of it and not getting enough sleep. Last night she was out on the quay with the kids while they took turns kayaking around our little harbor when I came out to join them for a bit just after sunset. So like 9 o'clock. I took a turn on the kayak after the kids. I am fairly uncoordinated controlling the kayak; it wobbles a lot for me in the water and I find myself making unintended circles to avoid another swim back to shore dragging it behind me. This is kind of all crazy because a week ago it was snowing and the fjord was still icebound. There was still plenty of twilight left when we finally went inside.
