How many of you are waiting for the.......

Spring FORWARD? I am. I'm so pleased that daylight is beginning to last a little longer.

Next week starts daylight savings time, I am so very happy (but will be complaining about the heat) in no time! LOL.

Do you guys like Fall Back, Spring Forward?

Our state stays on standard time year-round so we don't have the initial shock of springing forward & falling back. I don't know why the whole county doesn't just stay on standard time. What I like about it is the gradual change throughout the year. Days are still shorter in the winter and longer in the summer, but it's gradual so we acclimate easier.

my favorite season is Spring - wating for new life from the planted bulbs

buds on trees and longer daylight

I like the fall back. When I worked this spring ahead messed me up so bad. I honestly wish they would just pick a time and stick to it!

@SurferWifeI know there are a few states that remain the same all year long and don't bother. I don't think it's necessary anymore. I must admit that I absolutely love it not getting dark where I live before 5:00p.m. though....

I will admit, I'm not much of a summer time person. I can't stand the heat and humidity. I do look forward to Fall Back time of the year.

Having said that, I am looking forward to Spring Forward this year in particular!. With the extra snowy winter we've had coupled with the pandemic, I want some nice weather. I hope we do have a pleasant spring because it seems past years, we go right from a cool, wet spring directly into heat and humidity.

We don't spring forward in Arizona. The last thing we need is another hour of sunlight.

@ciao_bellait's that "balance" I want. I don't like extremes either. Too hot and I'm cranky, too cold and I'm cranky. No pleasing me when it comes to weather.

I love Spring. But Spring always feels like Fall and then heads right into Summer. I hardly ever know we've had it.

Until last week all my bulbs were completely covered in inches of snow. Then last week the snow melted on the flower bed. I don't get it. The daffodils were completely covered in snow but yet the leaves grew about 2" underneath the snow. How did they know the snow would eventually melt and they will bloom right on schedule.

Speak of, I haven't seen my daffodils in years. I guess they will never come back, @Yahooey

It doesn't matter to me. I still get up before the sun comes up and go to bed when it gets dark enough.

@gertrudecloset @drizzellla

but i bought some new ones - and yes after the snow melted last week

I'm for no fall back and no spring forward.

not looking forward to it and wish we stayed on STANDARD TIME all year long.

@sunshine45I wouldn't mind the tad bit more of daytime in the Spring. Like one more hour and then leaving it like that year round.

SAD happens to a lot of people because it gets dark at 4:00p.m. in some regions. I do notice I'm not as upbeat in the winter months as I am in the spring. I don't like hot, Summer at all. I just want the daylight to las longer.

I only like spring and fall because the only thing worse than the cold of winter is the heat of summer. And during those 2 seasons of winter & summer what the clock is doing makes no matter to me because I mostly stay inside to avoid them.

Foxxee — Sun, 07 Mar 2021 19:41:08 GMT

As I get older, I'm less likely to wish my life away wanting another season to arrive more quickly and I don't like the time changes. I'm for Standard time.

Besides, here in the NE where I live, Spring can be rainy, cool in the 50's and low 60's with few days in the 70's. Then, boom...at the end of May temps soar to the high 80's and 90's where they stay until mid-September, but could until mid-October. Add humidity, biting bugs, and weeds.

Some of the birds will begin to wake me up soon starting around 4:00 am when I promptly tell them to go back to bed. That doesn't work, so I get up in what feels like the middle of the night.

Even though I'm wanting Fall, I try to make the best of Spring and Summer.
