Spring Forward into Daylight Saving Time!

Remember to change the time on your clocks this weekend. Daylight Saving time begins at 2 AM tonight, March 13th.

And while you are doing this, remember to replace the batteries in your smoke alarms and carbon monoxide detectors. If you don't have them in your home, install smoke alarms and carbon monoxide detectors, they could save a life.

Now is also a good time to change the air filters in your heating and air conditioning systems. Especially here in Florida, it is a good time to have the A/C system checked out before it's actually needed.

John, we sure do. I reminded one this morning because they are catching an early flight home tomorrow.... they almost forgot... it's easy to do when you are out of your normal circumstances.

Dennis, I love the extra light, I hate to lose that one hour of sleep though!

John, it's easy to just creep up on you! Have a good weekend!

Thanks Steve, I took the photo of the tulips a year ago in a park in my home town in Germany.

Thank you, thank you, Silvia. I almost forgot. Not that I have any appointments at specific times, but I could end up forgetting to update my clocks.

Al and Peggy, glad you enjoyed the pic, it's one of my favorites!

Eldon, thank you and same to you!

Dawn, we usually set the clocks before going to bed but I'm not setting the alarm, I'll be waking up when it gets daylight!

Frances, thank you, Spring in New England is very enjoyable, used to live not to far from Hartford but in MA.
