Eastern Daylight 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 Times Ends Sunday, November 1

Time flies these days even in the midst of a pandemic. It seems like only yesterday that we “sprang” our clocks ahead one hour in March. Now, we are “falling” back gaining the hour lost back.

What will you do with that extra hour? When I was younger, I liked to stay up later because I would get the hour back when the time changed. Now that I am 57, that is not the case! I might even go to bed earlier just to get the extra sleep.

Please share in the comments how you will use your “extra” hour.

In the meantime, remember to set the clocks back one hour!
