Daylight Saving Time Arrives

That time of the year when everyone gets to experience sleep depravation arrives tonight when the clocks skip over an hour to adjust for Daylight Saving Time (DST). 

Sunlight in the Tree Tops

I appreciate the extra hour of daylight in the evening when I can best use it, but I will miss seeing the sunlight kiss the tops of the trees as I leave the house and head to work. It will be dark on Monday when I drive out onto the highway, sadly.

I have enjoyed watching the sunrise for the past month or so, but DST's arrival means that I will have more fun outdoor activities in the evenings. Except of course for the next week due to a major winter storm which is in the forecast and temperatures which will not see 50 degrees for the next 10 days!

Maybe the actual arrival of Spring will bring a welcome change in the weather--for the warmer.
