No it is not my birthday, that is a few more months away.
No it is not our anniversary, that was a few months ago.
No we are not having company or celebrating anything.
So what's the big deal"
Its the first day of Daylight Savings...
That gives me that summer can't be far behind! And Ruby is so anxious to have her pool open. March 12th is just a baby step in that direction!

I do like having more sunlight at the end of the day.

@AbbyGreenhill Yes, and I learned something interesting not too long ago. My Sister in law lives in Arizona and do you know that Arizona doesn't do Day Light Savings Time?

It's been still light at 6:30 here for a week or so. I summer some times it's still light at 10 pm.

I doubt that it will be done away with. Others have tried.

I am all for that! I love that extra light in the evening.

Spring forward! We lose an hour and many of us have to adjust (I always do) but we'll have an hour more of light.

As many hours as I've lived adjusting twice a year is not a big deal!

@AbbyGreenhill Yes, the Swiss wanted to vote not to have this anymore. Our country needs light in the morning, not in the evening. We already voted once and it was the only time the Government did not follow the popular vote. We still have it.

I do wish, though, that they (whoever they are) would do away with it.

March 12 is our 51st wedding anniversary. That gives us one more hour of daylight to celebrate!

It will be so nice knowing that it will start staying lighter longer each day. I hate when it's dark at 4pm

One thing about living in Eastern Time Zone but close to Central Zone - it's never dark until well after 5 in winter. It's light until about 6;30 now

Well I knew it wasn't the first day of spring. We have a bill before our legislature to put an end to Daylight Savings Time. I wonder if it will go through before then.

TN tried something similar and it went bust.

@AbbyGreenhill I read the state has until the 24th to decide.

Yes, summer is getting closer all the time! We don't have daylight saving in our state but most of the eastern states do.

I noticed the time yesterday when it got dark and it was around 5:30 ... I was thinking the same, I cant wait!

You are in central time zone I assume, as that would make it 6:30 here which is the time it started to get dark - we are only a few miles from Central Time zone.
