Yesterday our clocks went back one hour for Daylight Saving's Time.
We first had Daylight Saving's Time here in Canada in 1908, but was first used in Germany and Austria.
I HATE it when the clocks Spring Forward or Fall Back, it throws my system all off for a week or more. I am always surprised that a change in one hour can do that to someone's system. When the kids were young I hated it even more, as we brought up our kids with a routine in place, so it would always throw their routine's out of sync for a while also.
There has been talk for a number of years of stopping the Daylight Saving's Time here in Ontario, but for some reason, I thought New York State had to agree to it also?? I just wish Ontario would get on with it.
Here is more of the history of Daylight Saving's Time.
Do you have Daylight Saving's Time where you live?

We went back to GMT last Sunday, so the days seem much shorter, dull and wet. I must make more effort to go out for a walk.
A lovely letter in The Times, “Sir, I am impressed that flocks of geese have adapted to the clock change over our village. Their flights north are now at 4.55pm — exactly one hour earlier than last week.”
