Daylight Saving Time

I had forgotten that tonight we set our clocks ahead for Daylight Saving Time. Of course, with two atomic clocks in the house, I’d have realized it at some point tomorrow. The question remains, how long it’ll take me to set the rest of the clocks in the house ahead. The one in the kitchen might just stay an hour behind. It’s a pain to change and even worse trying to set it back an hour in the autumn.

Some people don’t like DST. I do, though. My world runs much more smoothly on DST. Losing light in the morning isn’t a big deal. But gaining an extra hour of light at the end of the day sends me into orbits of ecstasy.

Today the sun set at 5:42 pm with twilight at 6:10 pm. Tomorrow, the sun sets at 6:43 pm with twilight at 7:11 pm. A whole hour and one minute of extra daylight. Whoo! Tomorrow is supposed to be sunny all day, too. After today’s gloom and pouring rain, that extra hour will seem bigger, brighter, and better. I’m so excited!

Why can’t we just keep on daylight savings time?  When all these changes were instituted it was for the benefit of the farmers and the farming industry, but now with today’s technology that is no longer necessary.  I like DST and want it year round!!  That said, though - why when it is 9PM on the clock, but really only 8PM, am I ready to fall asleep/ Am struggling to keep my eyes open.  Makes no sense.  Unless of course it was those frigid winds today!!  Yuk.............

I wouldn’t mind it all year ‘round, either. I have to admit, however, that when the clock says it’s bedtime, my body isn’t buying it. Another week or so and I’ll be back in the groove.

Yes, the wind was fierce and it was cold. And is still cold. Where is spring?!!?
