Daylight Savings Time

If we change the clocks ahead next weekend, can spring be far behind? I sure hope not. Spring will officially begin toward the later part of March, but what I'm interested in is spring weather, spring flowers, singing birds, sunshine, warm rain, and being outside without wearing a heavy coat. There will also be flowering trees, crocuses, daffodils, tulips, forsythia, lilacs (my favorite spring flower) pansies, and the grass will start to get green again. Every year I say the same thing which is that I hope we HAVE a "spring" and don't go straight from winter to summer heat and humidity. It will be nice to get out and walk when the weather is comfortable, not freezing. The best part of spring weather is not having to use the AC or the heat. Think of the $$$ we'll save! I'll be able to open the doors and let the fresh air and sunlight come inside. Sandy and Coco will be in their glory when able to smell fresh air. Maybe Coco will stop trying to run out the front door everytime someone comes in or goes out. Also, if I save my pennies (dollars really), I'll be able to play golf again with friends. What a great way to spend a day!
