🌞Time of Day🌞
Welcome to the Time of Day section of The Grove of Knowledge.
Long before clocks measured hours and minutes, people understood time through the changing relationship between light and darkness.
The rising Sun.
The brightness of noon.
The fading light of evening.
The stillness of midnight.
