I will miss you sunshine...

Tonight at 2AM we set our clocks back an hour. As sweet as it might sound to gain an extra hour of sleep, in reality most of us wake up after 7-8 hours of rest regardless to what the clocks say. I see it as an end to my getting home before the sun sets and the need to wear a headlamp to do any chores outside when I do get home. This makes for a hard time checking on animals, looking for eggs, trying to milk in the dark truely sucks! And the animals are none too pleased. I have to wake them up with a bright light shining in their faces and if they have any kind of injury, how will I find it in the dark?? Is there really any point to daylight savings time? Really?? It confuses the hell out of the chickens, the roosters don't know why they are crowing like maniacs and still no daylight, I get cranky without enough sunlight. It's true. So I will push on, hard as it may be. The springtime will come 'round and the clocks will go back and all will be right in my little piece of the planet. Meanwhile, please forgive me in my short days wintertime funk.
