What Time Do We Spring Forward March 12 , 2017

Everyday day this week I woke up an hour earlier . No reason why I just did . Ben Franklin said early to bed early to rise makes a man healthy wealthy and wise . Being a woman I like my extra hour sleep but I stayed up . I also enjoyed a cup of Cinnabon coffee while watched the Today Show. Of course I feed Cleo the cat first .

Benjamin Franklin wrote an essay called “An Economical Project for Diminishing the Cost of Light” to the editor of The Journal of Paris in 1784. In the essay, he suggested, although jokingly, that Parisians could economize candle usage by getting people out of bed earlier in the morning, making use of the natural morning light instead of wasting candles . Interesting tid bit about  old Ben Franklin such a clever man .

 

It seems my body knew it was time to change the clock . In 2007 it was decided that every second Sunday in March we would Spring forward and change the clocks . Great for Real Estate . It gives us more time to show/see  houses.   Don't forget to change your clocks . It is said two AM is the time for  the change .

 

Make sure you change the clocks especially if you work on Sunday .

Hannah thanks for sharing Ben Franlin idea on using natural light.

I did not set my clock, but did get up on time.

I too like the fact that I will be able to show houses a bit later.

Hi Hannah - Being able to show homes later is a big plus - it just might free up a bit more weekend time, but I wouldn't be sad if it didn't.

Well it seems it doesn't matter if the clocks are forward or back Max and Sam wake me up, climbing all over us, meowing and banging the cords from the blinds against the wall. Max will if I decide to ignore him sometimes bite my nose gently to check I am alive.
