0 Spring Forward

Did you remember to set your clocks ahead one hour?

That's right.

We just lost an hour! Not to worry, we will find it again on November 4th when we "fall back."

The trade-off is an hour more of sunlight in the evening. Yay!

I think it is a silly thing to do, actually. But every state follows Daylight Saving Time, except Hawaii and Arizona.

An old Lakotah Indian once remarked:

"Only a white man would believe that you could cut a foot off the top of a blanket and sew it to the bottom of a blanket and have a longer blanket."

Just remember to set all your clocks ahead to avoid confusion and prevent tardiness.

They say the day after we spring forward, there are more traffic accidents as people suddenly realize they're late.

Makes sense.

For me, it's a matter of adjusting to the loss of that hour.

Kind of like a mini jet lag.

Does that happen to you too?

0 The Candles Are Lit

Guess who's coming to dinner? You!

Come on in!

The candles are lit on the table and all around the house.

So take off your wrap and make yourself comfortable!

We have a glass of Chateauneuf du Pape waiting for you.

There is nothing more romantic than a candlelight dinner, don't you agree?

Especially when the location is unexpected.

The jasmine is even more pungeont now that it's dark.

And the air outside is still warm and smells sweet from all the blossoms.

A reminder that spring is just around the corner.

Bon Appetit!
