 Sunday March 8th 2026 We Will Spring Forward at 2PM

The time has come to change the clocks, and you know what that means 

Spring is Just Around the Corner at Delaire Landing! 🌷
 
Hello, neighbors! Your favorite local guide, Hannah Williams (HelpfulHannah), here with a quick but important reminder.
 
As we enjoy these final weeks of winter, it’s time to get ready for one of my favorite seasonal shifts. On Sunday, March 8th, 2026, we will officially "Spring Forward"! ⏰✨
 
At 2:00 AM, our clocks will jump ahead one hour to 3:00 AM. While we might lose an hour of sleep that night, the trade-off is absolutely magical—especially here at Delaire Landing. We can look forward to:
☀️ More Evening Light: Perfect for those sunset strolls along our beautiful waterfront.
🌅 Brighter Evenings: A little more time to enjoy the club or chat with friends on the patio.
🌸 The Real Start of Spring: It’s the perfect signal that warmer days and blooming flowers are almost here!
 
Don't forget to set your manual clocks ahead before you go to bed on Saturday night. I can't wait to see our community glowing in that extra hour of afternoon sun!
 
Wishing you a bright and beautiful transition into the new season.
Don't forget to call me for your Real Estate questions.

Hi Hannah... you did have to go and remind me, did you???? I hate daylight savings time and I hate losing that hour of sleep. Takes me at least two weeks to start feeling normal. :)

Nina Hollander, Broker This gray, cold weather is so depressing up north that I do not mind losing an hour's sleep for an hour of extra sunlight and flowers starting to bloom outdoors ☺️

Hannah Williams I'm not a great sleeper and am always up at 4am. So if I lose an hour it really hits the system big-time.

I had a feeling there would be a comment from Nina Hollander, Broker !! :-) - Why can't they just stop messing with time?

Hannah, It may be one less hour of sleep but I like a little more sunshine in the evening!

Great reminder, Hannah! I agree that the extra hour of evening light is a game-changer for showings and waterfront strolls. Up here in Big Bear Lake, it’s the signal that our spring market is officially waking up. Thanks for the "Helpful Hannah" heads-up!

Hannah I am not a fan of these time changes.  I wish they would so away with them.

George Souto I do not mind them in fact, I like them. It is a wonderful farewell to Mr. Winter and a Hello to the coming of Spring

Hannah Williams - Time change doesn't bother me at all. I love to get up when the sun begins to shine and to enjoy more time before it starts getting dark!

Patricia Feager I am with you ! I would rather lose an hour of sleep and gain sunlight

The time changes are so outdated and should be done changing. What started in a war time economy for too long ago should have been reversed shortly after the war.

Ed Silva, 203-206-0754  To each his own - I like the time changes it lets me know it is time for a season to change, and for the sun to shine more brightly into the evening hours

Hi Hannah- like Nina Hollander, Broker my body clock takes about two weeks to reset. That said, I do like that it stays light longer.   That's more pool time for you!!!!

Mar 05, 2026 05:31 PM
Hannah Williams

Kathy Streib  Pool time will not come until late in May - Memorial Day to be precise. It will, however, allow time for evening strolls by the river and around the neighborhood. Walking about will be fantastic as it has been a bitter winter. It will also be nice to have longer daylight driving.

Since we don't change our clocks in Arizona, it is going to take me some time to get used to what time it actually is where you live, haha.

Mar 06, 2026 05:29 AM
Hannah Williams

Brian England  I understand, as I never know what time it is where you live ☺️Having an extra hour of sunshine is very nice, plus it helps to show properties also. Clients are more motivated to look after work

Thanks for the reminder! Luckily I don't have anything scheduled for Sunday morning so won't have to worry about being on time.

Kat Palmiotti  I have a party to go to Saturday night and hope to stay out late and rest on Sunday. I always say we get to stay out later, and people get upset with me.

Good Saturday morning, Hannah. This is a timely reminder to share.
