Thank you for your drawings - such thoughtfulness and treasures. Of course, my favorite are the Olympic Orchids! Love the crocus - I've never seen them in person. : )Leahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11863581555831785789noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5453792360015486892.post-76084625576846982742019-04-04T20:05:17.415-07:002019-04-04T20:05:17.415-07:00Daylight savings messes with my sleep, but I do li...Daylight savings messes with my sleep, but I do like that the sun is still out the work day is over.nelle25https://www.blogger.com/profile/09549813753578479630noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5453792360015486892.post-11413356586390564252019-03-31T13:13:45.146-07:002019-03-31T13:13:45.146-07:00I’m a morning person despite my best efforts tryin...I’m a morning person despite my best efforts trying to sleep in on the weekends and it’s a bit depressing waking up to darkness during spring/summer.

The crocuses have been spectacular this year, not as tall, but much brighter in color. It must have been the snow, or the extra month to incubate before blooming. You're entered in the drawing.

It gets light an hour later by the clock. The amount of light stays the same. The change in day length is a natural phenomenon, with or without the time shift. You're entered in the drawing.

I do hate when the clocks 'go back' in the winter months... it feels like hibernation time - then the pounds go on the old body - not good!
