Our old mountain ash drops its leaves reluctantly. All the other trees are bare. The little snow we had is gone. Got to run again today after the trial and then rain. I guess I've gotten soft since our time in Portland.
Day light savings ends today. It really isn't relevant this far north in the winter or summer. And gaining an extra hour on the weekend isn't bad. It's setting the clock forward in spring that bothers me.
My proposal for spring is to set the clock forward at 4pm on Friday. People who work get an hour off with pay, of course. They can just work harder earlier that day. Few offices do that much work on Friday anyway. And the bars and movies and restaurants can all deal with it. It's not a perfect plan, but it's better than losing an hour of weekend.
We changed time last week.
ReplyDeleteThank you but I don't need your corrections anymore.
ReplyDeleteI think you need to lobby the legislature about this-- it's a great idea!
ReplyDeleteThis post is a different matter hik... well not really but the other post deserves more attention :)
ReplyDeleteI note even although the pic does not enlarge enough ;) that your mountain ash not withstanding having the same name, is the same as ours, foliage wise anyway, here it's common name is Rowan.
Here in the old days it was planted outside most rural homes [it would be stupid inside:))]to protect against evil spirits and witches. Does it have the same symbolism where you are?
Oh and I thought we were the only ones that turned the clocks back apparently not... that is my lesson for the day thanks!
