What Time Is It?

March 8th, 2009

Is it time for Spring? Is it time to plant pansies? Is it time to drive around and see all the little new lambs.

Maybe it is time to check out the mules just hanging around the roadside.

Maybe it is time to plow the fields and get ready to do some planting in this fine rich dirt.

NO WAIT!! IT IS DAYLIGHT SAVINGS TIME. Time to change your clocks you silly girl. So instead of driving around taking all these photos I was supposed to pick up Jill from her sleep-over at 11am. I left the house at 9am to take photos so when Jill called said “where are you?” I said “I am taking pictures, but don’t worry I will be there on time, it’s only 10am and I am supposed to be there by 11″. Her sarcastic reply was ” Yeah- only if you can fly”. And then she put her friend’s mom on the phone. She asked if I would be there by 11 and I said “sure, no problem I am only about 45 mintues away and it is only 10am”. Then she dropped the bomb. “No, it is 11am – didn’t you turn your clock forward?” Uuggh, I hate when I am stupid. When did they decide to do daylight savings time on the first weekend of March? What a surprise for me. Then she asked if I could be there by 11:30 and I asked if she meant my 11:30 or her 11:30 and she said “the real 11:30″. No sense of humor. Maybe if she saw these pretty flowers she would feel better.
