I will walk the dogs after dinner, and start working more in the garden....once the mud starts drying up. It also means less time the television is on. My dh and ds watch a lot of t.v., and I'll be glad to see it turned off. More daylight also means I won't be coming home from work in the dark. I'm looking forward to it.

I will do the things that I should have done during the hour that we LOST in the mornings. I never could figure out how they think you are saving daylight. Yes, I know comming home from work and still having some daylight to do things are great. To me it is a hassel. I have to rearrange my chicken chores/cook supper/do dishes schedule.
Enjoy your hour!!

I will still be doing the same things, but doing more outside work. I really do enjoy the extra sunshine and my kids are loving the nice weather.

Working outside after work - it has been too dark to get anything done once you take out the time for dinner and prep - that pesky family, wanting to eat every day and all....

I can't wait until I can read outside in a chair! I'll also hopefully start weeding out the garden area soon once it dries up.

| Weeding, tending the plants in the greenhouse, weeding, picking up fallen branches around the yard, weeding, staining the front porch, weeding, did I mention I would be weeding? |

Linda, do you do much weeding? Ha, I call what I do gardening, but I mostly weed also. I like to think of it as gathering fresh food for the chickens.

I plan to get my garden up to speed and take my dog for longer walks. And be outside as much as possible.

I have been in the yard the entire day today. My husband isn't too fond of this new time. I am enjoying it.

Didn't you all know that weeds aren't weeds, they are fancy chicken salad, at least thats what mine think it is, lol. And with all my rain that I love, we also have weeds coming up where they have not been in years, thank God for the Hula hoe.

Today I attended my first Farmgirl Chapter meeting! :) Thanks Annika! I had so much fun! Tomorrow I think the extra hour should be given to weeding the garden!

My life will not change at all except for a few days I will yawn a little later than before the change. My schudule is so off anyway that it doesn't seem to make a difference. I guess the good thing is, if I'm out at night it will be lighter longer for the drive home.

Well,
We will work our urban farm more, plant more, dig more and hopefully harvest more. Finish putting up another high tunnel. And best of all enjoy our chickens even more. They are happy with the longer days too.
With longer day's, comes warmer weather eventually, and glorious Spring. Not to mention, I can read the farmgirl connection because the room our computer is in has been too cold to sit and read.

In a few weeks we'll be out working in the garden and yard more. I'm going to start biking a few evenings with my husband each week. And hopefully sitting outside reading and watching the birds too!

Turn the compost, clean up the garden beds, get my little one outside in the yard to smell the clean, fresh air. All this after I come home from work, of course.

I was really enjoying the light in the early morning, my favorite time of day. I love watching dawn break, sipping my coffee and just enjoying that quiet slice of the day. BUT....I'm tickled about the light in the evening also, when I get home from work about 6:45, I can let my dog out to run for a good while before it gets dark, and he loves it too!! When it warms up and stays light even longer, I'll be working in the yard till dark and loving every moment of it!!
live, laugh, love |
