The daffodils have bloomed, red buds, cherry’s and so many other early bloomers are showing out right now ❤️And todays event is a definite mile post every Spring. Daylight Savings time 🕰 It’s always tough loosing an hour of sleep… But, in a few days it’s fine, and we get the long evenings 💥 I am a fan for sure. The days will continue to get longer all the way to the Summer Solstice 🌞 Soon our Gardens will be in Full Bloom! Our vegetables will be in the ground and growing. Boating season is starting. It’s finally back! I LOVE Spring!

More coffee, then who knows?
“In spring the morning is darker
farmers don’t like it one bit.
Children go to school in the dark,
it’s still light when bedtime they hit.
Others prefer daylight saving,
with longer evenings of light.
There’s more time for beach and barbies
before twilight fades into night.
In autumn clock hands fall back
for that missing hour to reclaim.
This upsets our sleeping pattern,
now the brain we need to retrain.
Time then returns to normal
sending the body into shock.
We are messing around with time
by moving those hands on the clock”
~ Vivian Wade
Have a great day!

Were you early to church this morning? Or, were you more like me and actually set your clocks ahead like we were supposed to, only to have to drag your butt out of bed 🛏 Springing forward ain’t easy!

As I watch the snow melt this morning, Spring is in the air! And in a week, it will be official 😊 I am so ready for longer evenings, flowers, boating season and homegrown tomato’s 🍅.
“In spring when maple buds are red,
We turn the clock an hour ahead;
Which means, each April that arrives,
We lose an hour out of our lives.
Who cares? When autumn birds in flocks
Fly southward, back we turn the clocks,
And so regain a lovely thing
That missing hour we lost in spring.”

I thought March 21st was the 1st day of Spring? Well normally yes, but sometimes the 20th is it… But never the 19th or the 22nd… NOT SO FAST!
Several factors have caused this earlier than normal Spring date. I have attached an article from the Farmers Almanac below that explains the whole deal. Check it out 👇🏻
Like I’ve been saying all this time –
“Spring is Coming”! Boom 💥

As you probably already know, you set your clocks forward tonight before bed 🛌 Because at 2am Sunday morning, we “Spring Forward” 1 hour! For the 1st few days it’s a tough transition for many! Loosing that hour of morning sleep is hard 😐 BUT, we get that hour at the end of the day instead!

There have been many reasons for it, from saving lighting fuel for war efforts to more time to produce food crops. I for one, LOVE the longer afternoons 😊
The official 1st day of Spring is in 10 days! WooHoo! 🎉 Now we will have those longer evenings to enjoy outdoors! Are YOU excited?
Here’s to Spring!
Ps: Don’t forget, or you’ll be late to church😊
