What daylight?

It's so dark. In the morning kids use flashlight to get to school, I have hunted the whole house for reflectors - in spring there is always dozens of them, and in autunm you just can't find more than three - and we need four.

I might have to start sewing them again, I have nice amount of M3 reflective fabric (the same that is used on hi-vis clothing), but I also would need some space to cut and sew, and the space is always amiss in our house...

Kids get home when there is still light, but at 5pm when I drive home,  if not pitch dark, but already need of full headlights on my car. Yesterday I got home, and D told me there's something on the field. Couldn't see a thing, so I guessed it was a deer or something. This morning I took dog for a walk and realized there was a pile of horse manure! Well, that was unexpected. Nice suprise though, Now maybe my carrots and beets will grow better next summer!

I have to wait until weekend to actually see the pile. I suppose my father delivered it, he has a tractor and carriage and here is a couple of horses in our village, he has fetched some to himself earlier this autunm.

Strange things happen in the dark.
