This Week…Springing, Falling, Moving Forward

 

 Once again, many of us will be springing or falling forward. Those springing are happy to see what’s ahead with a spring in their step.

Some, I'm sure, will need a little shove forward.

 

Regret for wasted time is
more wasted time.
Mason Cooley

 

 

 

It takes my body clock a few weeks to adjust. Were it tied to the internet I’m sure it would automatically adjust over wi-fi.

 

A man who dares to waste one hour of time has not discovered the value of life.  Charles Darwin 

 

 

Larry and I have been busy every afternoon checking the bird boxes at Kickerillo. Bluebirds typically lay mid-morning so we often head back to the park for a check. We try not to interrupt the morning egg-laying. 

 

 

Time travels at different speeds for different people. I can tell you who time strolls for, who it trots for, who it gallops for, and who it stops cold for.
 William Shakespeare

 

There’s a twist in the blue bird box here at Casa Streib and I’ll fill you in next week!!! 

 

 

We’re seeing buds on many of the trees on our walks!  Yes…I’d say Spring is just ahead of us!!!

 

Time does not exist – we invented it. Time is what the clock says. The distinction between the past, present and future is only a stubbornly persistent illusion.
Albert Einstein

 

 

Don’t forget to SPRING Forward!!!

Good morning Kathy. When I was active I constantly reminded myself that "time is money" and until you realize it you will continue to waste it. Enjoy your day.

Hi Wayne Martin I never enjoy wasting time. If I have to wait for something, I find something to do or to read.

Hello Kathy - ah, the inconvenience of the time changes we endure continue to provide endless fodder for conversation.  And, yes, I mean endless as in ongoing. . .

Good morning Kathy, I think we learn to appreciate and cherish the value of time as we grow older. I find it interesting to observe how my sleep pattern adjusts when we change the clocks forward or backward since I don't use an alarm clock and just wake up naturally at the same time every morning. It usually takes me awhile to adjust.

Barbara Michaluk my body clocks wakes me up as well unless...I'm super tired. I wear a fitbit to bed that gently vibrates to wake me up, just in case.

Interesting Einstein quote. Time is just a way for us to make it to appointments in time. :-)

As for the time change, I have a much easier time adjusting to this one - the winter change takes me a long time, like 6 weeks or so.

Kat Palmiotti this one is usually easier for me but it still takes some adjusting. It used to drive our dogs crazy though.

Good morning, Kathy. I, for one, won't be springing into DST tomorrow... more like falling forward! I hate DST. And tomorrow I'll be publishing my annual rant explaining why I hate it! :)

Kathy, the constant shifts in time keep sparking conversations that never seem to end. The cycle of gaining and losing an hour begins again, but no signs of spring blooms here yet!

Lawrence "Larry" & Sheila Agranoff. Cell: 631-805-4400 your signs of spring will come soon!!  Every year there is talk of doing away with DST. I could go either way.

Good morning Kathy,

We are definitely seeing signs of spring! yesterday it was 80 and looks like high 70's today! I for one welcome the daylight longer in the day and the time change never bothers me. Even when we use to travel abroad the time changes never bothered me. I had to laugh at your comment "Were it tied to the internet I’m sure it would automatically adjust over wi-fi. "

Dorie Dillard Austin TX a good thing to come from technology is that except for a handful of clocks we have, everything else changes on their own.

Enjoy the weekend.

Happy Saturday Kathy, I wish this would keep the time the same as they do in Az. and not change them.  Just my opinion.

Kathy I am not a fan of the time changes, especially this one that costs me an hour of sleep.  😫

Hi Kathy:

It always takes me some time to adjust to the new time in the Spring, but it's an easier adjustment than switching in the fall!

Looking forward to the Casa Streib update! We are seeing more baby birds around these days.

Kathy, I so wish we could stop changing the dang clocks, and our bodies don't have to get used to the new time.
