My sleep pattern is all wacky too (but getting better) from our trip out west.
AZ does not recognize Daylight Saving Time, so we were 3 hours behind for 2
weeks. I wish I could get up during the middle of the night, photograph and
then go back to sleep. But I'd never be able to fall asleep again, especially
if I did what Diana does, identifying the moths as she photographs them! Of
course, I'm not as high-tech as she is with the IPad! :)
It has been interesting to hear other people's routines. When we have our next
Moth-er's Night Out, we'll definitely do it in May or September so we won't
have to wait so late for it to get dark. I've been enjoying these 8:30 p.m.
times to turn on the light.
I'm heading to Roan Mtn. for the naturalist rally soon. Larry and I will set up
lights, I'm anxious to see what comes to the sheets. That may help Carter Co.'s
numbers.

I turn the lights on at dusk and the dogs and I check often. Sometimes
we just sit out there in our lawn-chairs and I play on my IPad or if
I'm watching TV I check during commercials. Then when I get a few I
upload the pictures and work on some ID-ing while the battery charges
for the camera. It's addictive fun and I am retired so my sleep
pattern is all wacky. Catch you later. Diana
