Losing Daylight

I know it's tough to think about with all the nice weather expected this week, but each day we're losing a little more daylight.  The sunrise today was at 6:56am and the sunsets this evening shortly after 6:30pm (I'm still getting used to the earlier sunsets).  Now compare that to December 21st when winter begins and the sun doesn't rise until 7:22am and sets at 4:27pm!  That means we will have lost over 2 hours and 30 minutes of daylight!  Don't worry, though, because after the 21st of December the days will slowly be getting longer...even if it doesn't really feel like it in the middle of winter.
