I like it dark until the first light comes. The luxury of two east facing sliding doors allows me to watch the sun as it moves through its yearly arc. I can tell time by when it comes blinking over the mountain.
The down side is the inevitable beam of light that reaches my kitchen. “The Sunbeam of Truth” I call it, which spotlights even the dust in the air and shows that I am a happy gardener and not a perfect housekeeper.
