Daylight savings time messes up everything. I like it. I don't like it, depends on what is what. It surely does throw things off though, and children are very sensitive to it. Children have like a clock within their souls and they will get up pretty much same time most days (even when they are up really late, then that makes for cranky kids for sure).
I like that my birds are in bed by 4:00 now, (they are very lazy in that way, smiling). But I know that for about another month or so, the days will get even more short, until the winter solstace. Then the days begin to lengthen again, yay!!
Wintertime to me is a cozy time. I begin supper early, like around 4:00 and we are eating by 5:00 to 5:30. Then, the entire evening to do lazy stuff, like watching TV. I rarely watch TV or movies in spring/summer, but wintertime, I catch up. We have a PVR, lots of recorded stuff and lots of movies. It is a time when I gain about 10 pounds and on my small frame, that is alot of weight. Usually I can't do up my jeans come February, but I still squeeze in. Sorry, rambled off the topic.
I like that the mornings are lighter now, means I can let my chickens out earlier, not that it makes much difference to them, they don't know time. But it is nice to go out at 8:00 and it is very nicely lit up out there. I would like it if there was no change in things though, get rid of the time change I would say. Beautiful days, CynthiaM.
