Daylight saving time is upon us once again. Most people either love it or hate it. We all enjoy having the extra bit of light in the evening, but others refuse to move their clocks be it fall or spring.
Daylight saving time was first mentioned by the infamous Ben Franklin in 1784. However this idea wasn't implemented until the First World War.
Daylight Saving time benefits activities that utilize sunlight after working hours, such as our own Secret Agent Man, who is working on our flat bottomed river boat during the early evening hours.
"Far and away the best prize that life has to offer is the chance to work hard at work worth doing."
Theodore Roosevelt
I do like Day Light Savings Time...but I don't like those first couple of weeks while trying to adjust..
ReplyDeleteI say woot woot to day light saving time. I am one who enjoys it, always nice to have light after work. Great series of photo's. Flat bottom boat, fun! Love the comp of the 1st one and your textures. Have a great weekend
ReplyDeletehappy project work to him, then!
ReplyDeleteI enjoy the early evening hours as the weather gets cooler, but then I crave the extra sunlight to work in my garden.
ReplyDeleteVery cool that your husband is building a river boat....Definitely hard work worth doing.
well done Mr. SAM, love the flat bottomed boat! DST not so much! liked it when we lived in AZ and never had to change the clock! (BTW my car clock is showing DST never changed it in the fall)!
ReplyDeleteDidn't you mention once that part of your area changes their clocks and the other doesnt? That must be incredibly confusing!
ReplyDeleteI like the spring change much better then the fall change! We'll be eating dinner in the day light! It just makes you feel more awake!
Nice shots. I can truly say that I am not a fan. I do love the extra daylight I just wish they would leave the clocks alone.
ReplyDeleteDoesn't it seem like it is early this year...I guess I always say that! Have a great weekend! xo
ReplyDeleteAh yes, soon we will lose an hour... until we gain it back next autumn.
ReplyDeleteI love the longer evenings, so I won't be complaining. :))
It works for me too. Playing outdoors till ten o'clock in July is great. Hmmm Maybe it should move till Fairbanks. It's light there till 4 in the morning in summer... :)
ReplyDeleteNo complaints here, I can't wait to see the boat when he's done.
ReplyDeleteLooking forward to it! I love the extra daylight because it meams more time for me to dig in the dirt. Happy Spring!
ReplyDeleteI don't like DST. I'm an early to bed early to rise person. Plus they say it is not good for our health. Just leave things alone!
ReplyDeleteDST means my highschool students will be standing in the dark again waiting for the bus...
ReplyDeleteohhhh i love, love, LOVE daylight savings time...seriously, i really like it! i can't think of anything i dislike about it at all!
ReplyDeleteGreat pictures. With regard to the change in time, it make it a bit difficult to get the kid to be at the used to hour ;) yet allows more time to play with eachother. Please have a good Sunday you all.
ReplyDeleteI much more enjoy "falling back" than I do "springing forward". Welp, gotta to go to bed. Church will be coming early. :(
ReplyDeleteGotta love that boat! I don't like the time change thing as it just seems like such a hassle. But I do like the lighter evenings. Love the photos! ((hugs)), Teresa :-)
ReplyDeleteThe change in time is just a human convention - nothing really changes except we all (well, most people) agree to live life an hour later for a while.
ReplyDeleteWill be interesting to see the river boat in action. when it's ready.
I deeply dislike Day Light Savings Time like any other thing that intrudes in my daily routine. I find it innatural and also the presumed 'savings' are not well documented. It is a habit, like many others...
ReplyDeleteDST doesn't really effect me one way or the other -- but I do like having more light in the evenings. :)
