Who LOVES Daylight Savings Time Besides Me?

[lcwallis]

Light when I get home from work!!!! Even though we lose an hour of sleep, I don't care!!! Give me daylight...

I'm with you, give me daylight. [i realize there are the same number of hours in the day (going from Sat to sun at the change), I just prefer that hour of light be in the afternoon, so I can get more done.] I wish we'd stay on daylight savings, and forget about falling back...

I think the time change is absolutely stupid and should be abolished -- which is essentially what I've done. I don't live my life by the clock, so I really don't care which one would be chosen -- just pick one.

Me!

Me!

Me! I can't wait to have that extra light of an evening. Springtime bring it on!!!

I love the light, but HATE the change, just HATE it. I have such a hard time getting up in the morning these days, next week is going to just be you know what for me, and I am on a med for enhancing wakefullness.

I just wish they would leave it alone, that hokey bit about doing it for the farmers doesn't fly, they don't live by a clock, they live by the light.

HATE it with capitals all the way through. My body clock just will not change. I am always tired until the fall, when we go back "to normal"

I love it! Love knowing spring is right around the corner, love having the kids get off the bus and knowing that it will still be daylight by the time they get their homework done, love being able to go outside after dinner and still have it be daylight, and most of all, closer to summer, I love being able to put a full day's worth of work in outside and eat a late meal as it is just getting dark at 8:45.

I usually post a countdown on status updates, but I am guessing it has been removed due to recent"abuse".

 

[REO]

If it can be fixed, the status bar will be returned

I both hate and love it. I truly am a winter person. I love cold, dark evenings that seem to stretch on forever, it's just very cozy to me <3 HOWEVER I can only see my pony 1-2x a week at BEST until DST comes back! Once it arrives I'll be able to go with my wife when she comes home from work. It's not a good idea for me to go alone as they have guard dogs and I am a 5'1.5" woman haha.

I love daylight savings time. I really like the longer days. However, it can be a problem when you go to eat after dark in the summer. You end up eating dinner at 9:00pm.

I ABSOLUTELY LOVE, LOVE, LOVE IT!!!!!!

I love it so much I wish it would stay there year 'round and never go back to "winter" hours!

 

[Equuisize]

Love it, love it, love it .... been waiting for weeks for it.

Don't know so much if it's the extra hour of daylight as much as what

it represents.

Spring and summer are around the corner!!

The horses will be shedding and looking tidy again, more time to do some things

away from the farm and still get back in time that the 'kids' internal clocks say

it's time for dinner, and start moving up to the barn for dinner.

Not a fan of Daylight Saving. Just seems to make the days endless. A couple of weeks and it will be over 'til Spring. YAY

 

[susanne]

Don't get me wrong -- I love spring and summer...it's simply the time change that I think is patently ridiculous! .

I love the longer days, the angle of light, and everything else that comes with it. I celebrate the winter solstice, when the days begin getting longer instead of shorter, and I look forward each year to the spring equinox, when we have as much daylight as night. Instead of daylight savings, I rejoice at the sight of the new spring blossoms, the green grass, the buds on the trees and shrubs, bulbs emerging like little, green missiles, and, of course, the annual shedding of the horses.

Of course, summer in Oregon doesn't really come until July 5, but we'll have those poignant warm days that fool us into thinking summer has arrived early for a change...and at the very least, we can enjoy the warm, friendly showers that come in place of winter's never-ending, bone-chilling rain.

I love longer days. It's dark in the winter here at 4:00 p.m. and there is so little daylight. Although I love the cozy feeling of going to tuck the horses in at night in the winter and watching them munch on hay, I really prefer being out and about with them enjoying sunshine. Also like to see my chickens and geese out enjoying the longer days too. Really though I suppose I like all the seasons cause by the end of summer, I'll be longing for shorter days and the chill of winter. Gotta love life!

 

[Sonya]

I love it too, normally I work a night shift the then have to be back to work in the am on the night of the change, but this year I am day shifts on Sat and Sun so it won't be such a big deal....I can't wait to go boating, love the long days and summer. Bring on the flipflops!

 

[MountainWoman]

Mona,

I LOVE the name of your ranch!!!! Wish I had thought of it cause that's truly what our farm is

 

[Riverrose28]

I love it too, only wish we could have it all year long! Must admit though I don't like the heat of summer, wish I could bring the horses in the house with the airconditioning. I always want to go to sleep early in the winter, seems like when it gets dark, my body says time to go to sleep, I don't even get to watch TV in the winter. After being outside all day in the cold, when I come in I just want to cook, eat and go to bed. I'm already starting to hear the crickets and frogs some night, that is so comforting, it means spring is on the way!

I LOVE IT!!!!! It is wonderful to have daylight after work for long enough to do more than just get everybody fed. I actually get to spend some time with the critters.
