6 AM ET 042621

On April 26, sunrise will occur at 6 AM ET in the northeast US.

This begins a 15 week period in which the sun rises at 6 AM or earlier.

I am grateful for this time span every year as it provides us with the chance to wake up early, get outside and move as daylight emerges.

We can walk, run, bike, or hike for an hour, have coffee and a shower, and get working before 8.

What a blessing.

Here's a photo I took at 6:01 this morning. It starts getting light a good 20 minutes before sunrise so this early morning window has already opened a couple weeks before the 26th!
