Daylight Saving Time – Isaiah Jacobs

Daylight Savings Time Ends, Sunday, November 3!

The weather has been quite warm this fall, making it feel like late summer rather than November. As I started wearing my sweatpants shorts, which I aptly named my winter shorts, the weather got warmer. Maybe I should keep them out all winter to keep the severe weather away?

Once again, it is time to turn our clocks back one hour. Daylight Saving Time officially ends tomorrow morning, Sunday, November 3, at 2 a.m. Don’t forget to set your clocks back one hour before bedtime tonight.

My friends, and probably especially my wife, aren’t going to believe this. Before I say it, I’ll let you know I am well. Here it is, I think for the first time in my life I am ready for the time change and the cooler and colder weather. I’ve never liked the fall time change because it always brought the cold weather with it. Though it’s warm this year, the cold won’t be far behind. Plus, there isn’t much I can do outside this time of year.

Why am I ready? No, I haven’t hit my head or anything. It’s been a very busy, warm weather season. For some reason, it seems to have been busier than previous years. Mowing, planting, mulching, deadheading, and every other task in the garden has been a blessing from God. I love every second I get outside enjoying His Handiwork in creation. Traditionally, this is the slow-down time of year for me. This year, I am ready.

I look forward to reading books, taking online courses, and organizing my classical music compact disc library. Oh, I am even looking forward to going through stuff in the garage and basement storage… and maybe a few naps along the way, too.

Do you look forward to the time change? Are there tasks or chores you have planned for the colder weather? If so, share in the comments below.

Don’t forget to change those clocks! Sunday’s coming!

Eastern Daylight Time (EDT) Begins, Sunday, November 7!

It seems like I am always saying this these days, WOW! time really flies by! They say, as you get older time flies faster. I’m inclined to believe it. Only yesterday, I was changing the clocks for Daylight Saving Time and now, I’m turning them back.

Having moved to the country earlier this year, quite a bit has changed. I’m hoping I remember to turn my clocks back tomorrow before I go to bed. Usually, I get up and start resetting the clocks back which are least used during the day. That way, if I forget, at least I will not miss church on Sunday.

Daylight Saving Time Begins!

A-h-h-h-h Spring! According to the calendar, the first day of Spring is next Saturday, March 20! Tomorrow begins Daylight Saving Time once again! For that, I am happy! Why? It usually means the really cold weather is gone, no more snow or ice storms, and warmer weather is on the way. We have had some snowstorms in late March, I remember a few in early April too, but they melt away very fast- a great way to celebrate snow, here today and gone tomorrow.

Being retired from a career of 33 years and having more time at home, my schedule has changed to where I can be outside more than ever before. The time change means the days will be warmer soon and I can get out with my dog to enjoy whenever I want which is a blessing!

Don’t forget-
Spring forward
One hour before bed tonight!

Daylight Saving Time Begins!

Just a reminder so you don’t do like I did in college and arrive late to church! It was so embarrassing to have people leaving the church as I was arriving!

Set the clocks one hour ahead before bed on Saturday night!

Thus the journey begins as we head to spring followed by summer! I always look forward to this time of year as we leave the cold weather behind! Here in Virginia, we could have snow up until late March and even early April. If it accumulates, it will melt fast. A great thing!
