The sunset isn't until 6:33 PM tonight and it doesn't actually get dark for a little while after that. Saturday night we switch over to Daylight savings time - it will be close to 8 PM before it gets dark!  Woo Hoo. The thing I hate worst about winter has always been the long hours of darkness. Worse to me than the cold. I am happy to see spring. Here in Florida we get spring early and there are signs already - the growth - warmth of the water etc. We had a nice warm winter here and it looks like we are enjoying an early spring.

I might be in the minority here but I do not like this time change. I get up early everyday before sunrise and by the time it gets dark then I'm ready to wind down. When it stays light out longer then I have trouble falling asleep. I wish they would leave the clocks on standard time.

When it stays light outside later it just reminds me how boring my life is that I have no fun way to spend the extra daylight.

You should move to Ft Wayne, ind. They don't do DST. Just the city of Ft Wayne - the rest of the state does.

So take a walk, it's free and you don't need anyone else to go with you. Do you have a dog - they love to accompany you on long walks.

I just heard today there's a terrible drought going on in FLA and there are raging fires.

I guess you should do a rain dance for your adopted state!

@Lucky Charm  My nephew works for the federal government as a firefighter and he called to tell his parents - who live in Orlando- that they were gearing up to come to Florida because the fires are spreading.We had an all day rain about a week ago but nothing since and it had been a long time since we had rain before that. However, we usually are dry in the winter but rainy in the summer. 

I heard on TV they are expecting a bad storm season this summer because the oceans are unusually warm.

I think she will have to move some where else.  Fort Wayne does change their clocks.
