The CK Daily – The Times They Are a-Changin’
Happy Friday, folks! We were discussing the weather starting to warm up, and someone mentioned that we’re just over two weeks away from the time change (it occurs on March 10 this year).
And I can’t wait for the time change to occur! I enjoy being outside in the evening, and having that extra hour of daylight gives us more opportunities to enjoy outside activities! Do you prefer an additional hour of daylight in the evening or have daylight earlier in the day? What will you do with the extra hour of sunlight during the evening?
Have a great weekend!
Chris
