...I love the poem and the pretty webs full of dew.<br /><br />We have Daylight Savings Time from the first weekend in March to the First weekend in November - it used to be from May to late September - but for some reason a few years ago they switched it - I prefer it this way - gives us light in the evening for just a bit more time. When we lived in very southern California - we were just an hour's drive to the Arizona border and in Arizona they don't use Daylight Savings Time - and the tv stations for our area all originated in Arizona - talk about confusion when California would change times and Arizona wouldn't. For one thing - the evening news was on at 4 p.m. California time - weird.JoAnn ( Scene Through My Eyes)https://www.blogger.com/profile/12621061028973446378noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-280582018791422638.post-20187308062912034362013-09-24T17:59:16.777-07:002013-09-24T17:59:16.777-07:00Lovely poem Pat, and a great explanation of your b...Lovely poem Pat, and a great explanation of your blog name.

Much of the rest of the eastern coast of Australia does. The thing is here we could do with a bit of extra daylight. Even in Summer it is dark by seven. I've always found it hard to understand why you need to change the clocks somewhere where it is still light at 10pm .Personally I like a bit of dark around bedtime!

I think it messes up our internal clock. <br />The last year I lived in California the time change messed up me and so many of my friends. As we are all 50+ (some of us older) I am not sure if that was a factor but we all had a hard time with the the time change. It took us forever to adjust.<br />No matter where you live it seem the schoolkids leave and come home in the dark. Winter is winter. <br />Now that I live in Tucson no back and forth with the clocks and I am so happy.<br />What a lovely poem, silken threads.<br /><br />cheers, parsnipangryparsniphttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17236094827257446781noreply@blogger.com
