The Dark Time of the Year

It is the dark time of the year.  The clocks have rolled back, it's dusk at 4 o'clock and pitch black at 5 pm.  The rain, and even the hail, pounds all day long.  And the cats are sleeping more.  Smart right?  I mean, when there are so few usable hours (outdoors anyway) it makes sense to conserve your energy.  Cats have definitely got this one right.

I for one, welcome the dark time of the year.  While it means fewer daylight hours ... there is a certain relief when the sky starts to darken at 4 pm.  You can be "in for the evening" so much earlier than in the summer ... and really focus on indoor projects.  And if you don't feel like working on a project?  You have only to take a page out of your cat's book and curl up with that soft, furry, purry body on the sofa and enjoy a cat nap.  Or drink in the blissful content on the face of another snoozing feline, smartly claiming an entire chair by the window.  See and hear the rain splattering on that window pane and realize that it is okay to begin the annual winter hibernation.  Rest and rejuvenation awaits!

Disclaimer:  Many of the items sold are vintage or pre-loved. Quality of vintage items vary with the manufacturing methods available at the time of production. They are not made to current standards of manufacturing ... and in my opinion, that is usually a good thing! They tend to be higher quality, last longer and include more attention to detail than today's products. However, safety standards do change over time, items do deteriorate with age, and it is up to the customer to decide how they will use each product.
