I’m sitting here in my office listening to the rain on the roof – our first big rain of the season, looking out the window into the darkness thinking “when does Daylight Savings time end this year? It’s really dark outside.” It’s funny how fast the days go by sneaking into fall & winter – dark mornings get longer and longer. I, with my internal alarm clock, have been setting my electronic one “just in case”.

For another 18 days the mornings will be staying darker just a little bit longer – and then, November 1st we will set our clocks back and get an extra hour of sleep.  Good news for those celebrating Hallowe’en or Samhain! Either an extra hour of celebration or an extra hour of sleep. Either way, I always love the day we set the clocks back, it almost feels like we get to go back in time, just a little bit.
