Don't forget to set your clocks ahead 1 hour the night before. We don't want anyone late for work and school right?

I swear, this is my favorite time of year.....Spring Ahead! An extra hour of daylight and each day for a few months it stays lighter out a minute a day and before you know it, the sun doesn't go down until 7:30. Gotta love it!

To me, it also means Spring is practically around the corner. I can already smell the pretty flowers that will be blooming. The freshly cut grass <love that smell too>, more people out and about smiling from ear to ear! Kids playing and enjoying the warm sunshine. Planting our flowers and vegetable gardens! Being able to open windows and let the fresh air into our homes after being cooped up for what seems like an eternity.

So yes, I am so looking forward to Spring! Bring.....it......on!

Jackie, thanks for the early reminder. Standard time is so short nowadays with the laws maybe we should just stay on daylight savings time all year. I guess too dark in the morning though, that is why they have compromised with the times...

Wow!  Coming up already.  Seems like we just switched over to Standard time.  But I'm with you. I hate going home from work in the dark.  It makes me want to leave early so I can get tucked into my safety zone before dark.. Woo Hoo indead!

Nothing like Spring on Long Island and yes the smell of fresh cut grass.  It is just wonderful.

It's hard to believe it's that time of year already Jackie, especially since we've had such a mild winter.

Hi Gary, I have been saying that for years. Just keep it at the 1 hour spring but like you said, it's too dark in the mornings.

Hi Leslie, I'm right there with you! I love spring ahead and the extra daylight. Can't wait for warmer weather!

Hi Liz, there is nothing like it at all!

Hi John, You are welcome!

Hi Roger, It came fast, well, sorta :) But, mild winter or not, I'm tired of being in the dark so early. Can't wait!!

Jackie, hard to believe it's that time of the year already...where did the first two months go????  I guess when you're busy time really does fly.
