Happy Daylight Saving Time!

It's Daylight Saving Time! I love this time of the season. Yeah, we lose an hour but to me this signifies the first important step to ending Winter, and that Spring is around the corner.

Love it getting dark later, even if it takes a few days to get used to!

I'm sure their location had a lot to do with the decision. The negatives outweighed the positives.
