...and it finally came inside

We live in a very dark house.  Not just because there are very few windows on the south side of the house.  Not just because there are lots of tall trees around.  Not just because we live in the pacific northwest.  But because the sun does not actually touch our house from sometime in early November until mid February due primarily to the fact that we live on the north side of a hill...with lots of tall trees in the pacific northwest.

Three days ago the sun came inside.  I walked up the stairs and there is was, shining on the wall.  It was a temporary sighting but wonderful just the same.  I looked outside and saw it peeking between two trees.  It made me realize that there will be a day in the not so distant future where the sun will actually shine upon our little house all day long.
