Standard Time Returns

I hate it when Daylight Saving Time ends!  My schedule doesn't change, I just have one less hour of daylight.  Since I watch TV after dinner (and their schedule doesn't change) I go to bed at about the same time.  It just gets dark an hour earlier.  And since I get most active after lunch, I have an hour less to do stuff outside.

I personally wish we would just stay on Daylight Saving Time.  I know it benefits some people, but I am sometimes very selfish.  The change bothers ME.  

It will get dark at 5 PM here, limiting my outside activity.  And I still have lots to do outside.  More about that in a couple of future posts...

But I have so many clocks to change.  The analog ones are not that tricky but I have some everywhere.  And there are a few digital clocks to change.  I've been switching to radio frequency-adjusted ones but there are still old ones around.  And I always forget the one in the car!  

My wristwatch drives me crazy.  There are 4 buttons on the sides and I can never find the instructions, so I have to look it up of the manufacturers website.  And it always takes a few tries to get it right because it is hard to tell when the tiny buttons have been pressed sufficiently.  

And I am a bit obsessed about precision.  I read once that "a person with one clock always knows what time it is; a person with more clocks is never sure".  

OK, I'm just annoyed by the change...  ðŸ˜–

I hate the time changes, too. Both spring and fall. An annoyance for me is having to juggle when I take my medication which is supposed to be the same time every day. Yes, I am old and crochety.

Daffodils, Trash, And Old Electronics

I finally got about 3/4 of the daffodils planted.  I have a front yard island bed surrounding the Saucer Magnolia tree and a 3' boulder ...
