season changes

The days are already getting shorter here. What is nice about it is that I no longer wake up at 4 in the morning to blazing sun and then have to try to fall back to sleep. However, it makes it extra hard to wake up when it is dark. It wouldn't be so dark except that it rained for the past week straight and heavy clouds stayed in the area. So what do I know from this? The weather and seasons are changing.
