sunshines

Sources of cheer

Sunshines is the plural of sunshine, though sunshine rarely takes a plural form since it typically refers to light from the sun as an uncountable mass.

The plural appears occasionally when distinguishing different qualities or instances of light: the pale sunshines of early spring versus midsummer's blaze.

More commonly, sunshines functions as a verb in the third person singular: The weather sunshines on us today.
