Daylight Savings

Thank goodness daylight savings finally ended so we could "fall back." The days are getting shorter, and it's been far too dark in the mornings. As I recall, they extended the beginning and end of daylight savings to stimulate the economy (since people tend to shop more if it is light at the end of the day). Thank goodness that worked!

We had an extra hour today, a worthy extravagance on such a beautiful fall Sunday. However, it seemed to melt away like an extra pat of butter on your hot morning muffin. Anna and I went to the bookstore then Petsmart to get some new fish, then she had another extra ballet rehearsal. Colin and Anthony dug out weeds in the front yard. Hanging laundry. Grilling steak and veggies. New bottle of wine to try. Halloween candy to plunder.

Yeah, I could take an extra 24 hours like these...

I like the "fall back" in the morning, when it's bright and the sun is shining, but it makes me sad when it's dark by 6!
