Finally! I just stepped indoors from our balcony. Today is beginning to look like summer. Although yesterday was New Westminster's longest day of the year, we had the dining-table lamp on at 5:15 pm. It was cloudier and it was a much uglier type of cloud.
This evening, things look much better. Local daylight will be 16 hours and 14 minutes today. Tomorrow will only have 14 fewer seconds. Still, I guess that means the days are getting shorter!
