I suspect the cause is some combination of spring and daylight savings time, but I am having a difficult time adjusting to the longer hours of daylight.  I realized we associated diner time with dusk.   So, dinner is getting pushed off to much later in the evening. Our clock appears to have shifted from the one on the wall to the one in the sky.

It is not spring here yet, though I do struggle with the Daylight Savings Time.

Animals don't understand about the change of time. It messes with their feeding schedules.

To me the days are not long, instead it seems they are shorter.  I am going to bed an hour early though I still get up at the same time.

It does seem odd that it is still daylight when it used to be dark.
 
I'm tired of walking, and will rest for a minute and grow some wheels. This is the promise of this tiny ad:
