Last night in the cool crisp 'football' weather, we enjoyed watching our Panthers battle to the bitter end, only to suffer a 14-7 loss; one that shouldn't have been because we really outplayed the opponent.
It's time to cut wood and get ready for cold days ahead. We had very little daylight left, so one small oak is all we had time for today, but we'll have to get busy in the next few weeks to have enough to last the winter. How nice it is now to enjoy a few days without a/c or heat.
It should not be dark until almost 7am...it's just not natural, so how can we do away with daylight savings time? Can't we take a vote? Falling back is not so bad, but springing forward is a real pain. It takes us weeks to acclimate and we work ourselves silly outdoors until after 8 o'clock in the evening because it's still light out! The "experts" tell us that DST is an energy saving stradegy, first conceived by Benjamin Franklin. You can read all about it online. Regardless of the benfits, it's still a real adjustment to the body & mind; off my soap box now.
