Hi Byron,
And then they adjust the clocks again, and you have to go to work in the dark again.

Go to Shetland Isles, no trees.

...not quite true, there are some quite pleasant groups of small trees cowering in the glens, and they are planting more, including using monster poly tunnels to get them started!.

(If you can call 20m tall Sitka "small")

on the railing of my patio.

Not a problem the next weather pattern of rain, probably within 3 hours, will clean it off.

Yeh - the rain..... just like a pressure washer, but more persistent and colder :-(

Great place to live though.

Must go back one day, or a week....

June would be a good time - one doesn't need to burn the midnight oil(lamp) as it never really gets dark.

Not quite so good in December when it barely gets light.
