As the days brighten and the sun gets higher I notice all the imperfections that the new brighter light exposes. Buildings look drabber after all the winters rain, my car has more scratches that once the dark winter light was until now hiding, and my clothes can suddenly be seen to be more worn than I suspected. It is the same every year. The brighter light exposes all these annoyances and imperfections. Everything suddenly looks more worn out.
