DAYLIGHT SAVINGS
Okay, so we embarrassingly got to church an hour early today. Without General Conference to remind us, we didn't even think about changing our clocks last night. We slept in this morning (we have church late) and thought we were being slothful. Turns out we got up on time!
Did anyone else forget?
And that means that the sun now sets at five freakin' thirty! I mean it! Look over at my Wunderground Widget. That's a far cry from the 10 pm that we had just a few months ago. Ryan joked that we'd have to take flashlights to go walk on the Green Belt. I say if it's dark, why drive all the way over to the Green Belt? We may as walk somewhere ugly that's closer!
I remember wondering last year if moms turned on the porch light for their kids so they could see the door when they got off the school bus. I don't think it gets quite that bad. But this northern lattitude takes some getting used to.

If you look at a map and just make the lines you will see that we really should be PST but years and years and years and years ago the farmers needed more light so we wound up on MST and that is why it stays light a little too late during the summer and our winters are pretty dark. Just wait, when it hits December it is not light until almost 8:00 in the morning.
It was an adjustment for me when I moved up here and we are the only northern state that is "off" timewise. I like it now because it is gret to have it stay light so late in the summer and in the winter the dark helps for those mornings you want to sleep in.
I don't know if the farmers still need it or if they will ever change it back.
