Mom's note about the weather

I have observed that the Lithuanians love yellow.  It is their sunshine.  Houses, dishes, wallpaper are most often yellow.  Kayleigh says it is her new favorite color.  She takes vitamin D everyday to give her what the sun doesn't give her because it is often covered.  Today I looked up the "average annual hours of sunshine" in some places.  We have 3030 hours of sunshine a year in Utah.  Oregon has 2340, New York has 2120 and Alaska has 2060.  Lithuania has 1588 hours of sunshine a year which is about half of Utah. She told Amy today that Summer was her favorite season for the heat and the sun.  After a year in the city, she loves seeing the ocean!

Julianne Nell remarked, "The sunshine statistics are fascinating. 
Kayleigh seems to create her own sunshine....her letters are so upbeat."
