Daylight Savings Time
I just can’t adjust to this “spring forward, fall back” thing. Why can’t we just pick this time and stay with it? I don’t mind going to work in the dark, but I really do like having all the daylight after getting home.
But today, I got up mid-morning and my body thought that I had the whole day ahead of me. Psychologically, it’s like you’ve lost more than just an hour. I look up at the clock and it says 3:46pm. It feels like it should be around 12 noon to me.
We made breakfast this morning, shared a couple of hours together, then went for a drive to Ashford, Connecticut. There has been so much rain that the rivers are raging. Some roads are impassable. It’s still cloudy so it wasn’t such a good day for photos, but I took some anyway. I’ll look at them, but doubt that any will make it to this blog.
I’m slowly changing a bit of the site. You probably notice the photo album menu. And the polls are back, but I only have one active poll at this point. It’s not hard to make changes. It just takes time to think it through, and time is a hard thing for me to come by these days it seem.
Next weekend, Kent will be away all weekend. I may start my spring activity and start planting my spring flowers. It all depends on the weather. I hate staying inside and doing nothing when Kent is away.

I *think* the original idea behind it was not have it so dark in the winter when the kids went to school in the morning. So, by shifting the time, there was more daylight in the morning hours when they were getting on the school buses or walking to school.
At this time of year, pushing ahead an hour doesn't have much effect on the daylight in the morning, because it was already daylight by the old time.
Children aside, it messes me up to keep shifting, and the older I get the harder it gets to adjust it seems.
I don't get the whole time thing. Are we "Saving" daymight in the morning or at night?
I Dunno...
My aunt virgie taught me how to garden when i was a young child,she would give me flowers to take home to plant,and she told me to say a prayer over the plant and it would grow better,my aunt died when i was real young but i still remember the things she taught me about the garden,i think the garden is the most peaceful place i know,i cant wait to get in my garden this year.
I love gardening also. I love planting new things and watching them grow as well. I think I am most at peace when I am working in my lawn.
I feel the same way,why change the time around,my friend gave me a rose bush for easter and i put it in a pot out side,the roses are white and peach,very beautiful,i cant wait untill i can get in my garden,i love to plant seeds and watch them grow,i have not made up my mind what i want to plant this year,i try to change it each year,my neighbor next door to me is not able to get out in her garden to plant flowers any more so i make sure she has flowers in her garden also,i live in ohio and it has rained here not stop,we have flooding too,today it is nice out and the rain has stopped,for now the sun is out.
