I am not a fan of Spring-Forward Sunday. For one thing, I’m
pretty much a lazy person and when we’re off Daylight Saving Time and it starts to get dark at 5 or 6 at night, it’s quite easy to put the ol’ pajamas on and call it a day — literally — by 8 p.m. But in Daylight Saving Time, you’re sort of compelled to keep
going until 10 p.m. or so. I mean, isn’t that why Daylight Saving Time was invented — so we’d have more time to do work? Whose bright idea was that???!!! And when I was a young mom, I dreaded the spring-forward time change that wreaked havoc with those lovely early bedtimes. However, now that I’m Grandma Ka-kee and treasure every moment I can spend with my almost-2-year-old grandson, Capt. Adorable, I say the more daylight, the better. That just gives me more playtime to hang out with the Captain in his backyard and his ultra-cool new playground equipment his mom and dad got him for an early birthday present. It’s got slides and a climbing wall and a fun underneath space for hiding. Plus, it offers the chance for scientific exploration, such as “Why has rainwater gathered in this little hole and I wonder what would happen if I put my finger in it?” And when it’s spring and nice weather, you can also have your snack of yogurt-covered blueberries outside — definitely worth giving up an hour or two of sleep!
Oh my the captain is growing like a weed. We don’t have daylight savings time for two more weeks. I miss the sleep but I love this time of year. Have a wonderful Sunday!
Kathy — Thanks so much for the kind words — and you are so lucky to get two more weeks of early nights. I’m jealous!
What lovely weather and a cute GS to spend it with.
Capt. Adorable is well named. He is growing up. What a cutie. I love your posts on food, local places of interests, etc. Keep going–from a reader up north.
Barbara, thank you so much for your kind words. Made my day!
Good looking boy. Needs a haircut. 🙂
No! His hair is perfect!!!
