Happy Spring!

You might be thinking that I am a day behind since the first day of Spring, the Vernal Equinox was yesterday, not today. I have been traveling and am a bit behind. Also, I was thinking spring started today but everything is a bit earlier this year and I didn’t catch it.

Since this is probably my favorite season with summer following a very close second, I couldn’t pass up celebrating the day. Spring is my favorite season because it means the harsh winter storms are over, what little we had. If we get a winter storm, it will melt off fast and not be problematic to get around. This year, we had a few storms but they were mostly rain except maybe one snow but it wasn’t enough to keep me home for a day.

As the past fall and winter season came upon me, I decided that I would bide the time by taking classes. The first I took was “The Theology of Eschatology,” from September to December. My interest in Biblical End Times has been a fascination for many years. I had a few others planned, however, a few health challenges arose that kept me busily distracted for about four months. Things are great now, just in time to enjoy my favorite season.

I learned a lot during the health challenges that I plan to write about. However, coming into Spring with all it’s outdoor chores and opportunities, it might be a bit before I sit down and write. Hopefully not as I think those with the challenges of Charcot-Marie-Tooth might benefit from what I learned.

Happy Spring! Get outside this season and enjoy the beauty of God’s Creation!

Daylight Saving Time Begins Sunday, March 12, 2023

Daylight Saving Time begins tomorrow. When I was working in an office, this was one of my favorite days of the year because it meant I could spend more time outside after work.

Now that I am retired, it really doesn’t matter to me because I can be outside anytime of the day that I want. I just anxiously wait for the warmer weather to settle in for the season so I can be outside!

Remember, set your clocks ahead one hour before bed Saturday evening, March 11. You don’t want to miss church on Sunday!

Happy Spring!

Happy Spring! It is finally here. Although I have to admit, that was the fastest winter season I have ever been through in my life. Maybe it’s because it didn’t really stay cold the entire season like it so often does. Also, being retired, I don’t have to go out in it to fight snow/ice to or from the office. Or, it could be as you get older, time goes by faster… I will leave that one alone.

The winter season was different for me this year too. Since we moved south, I was curious how much our weather might be different though the move was only an hour away. We have more snow and colder temperatures by up to 5 degrees. Well, we are near the mountains which affect the weather. Also, not being in town with concrete and asphalt will affect temperatures too. Last summer, we were warmer than the northern area but not as nearly as hot.

Either way, it’s Spring. The warm weather is on its way. I will be outside enjoying as much of it as I can. I hope you do too.

Daylight Saving Time Arrives – Tomorrow

My favorite time of year is coming soon. Tomorrow begins Daylight Saving Time at 3 a.m. Of course, I think I will sleep right through it until time to get up for church at 6 a.m.

This is my favorite time of year because it means if we have snow or other wintry weather, it will melt sooner than in the winter months, warmer days are coming, and I happen to enjoy the extra hours of sunlight at the end of the day. Before I retired, I especially enjoyed it because I could come home from work and enjoy the outdoors a few hours before dark. Also, it meant days off in warm weather were coming soon!

Tonight before bed, turn the clocks one hour forward. “Spring Forward!”

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!

Happy Spring!

Ahhhhhh! Spring! I am so happy it is Spring! My winter was nowhere near what was forecasted and saw very few snowstorms. Though last November we had snow but it melted off quickly. It fooled me as I was anticipating it to be the beginning of a very long winter.

We start this spring with a CO-VID-19 pandemic outbreak. Stay safe!

Happy Spring! We will get through this and be on to fun Spring activities soon!
