Well now – I would like it if someone could please tell me when the days started getting shorter please – rhetorical question of course.
I have a rule while driving in the morning – when Samantha (my gps) kicks in from night mode to day mode – it’s time to put my sunglasses on.
I leave my house every morning at precisely 0640 – ass in seat my friends.
As of late – it seems to me that the time to put on said glasses is getting later and later – hmmm – interesting.
I leave work at precisely (ish) 1645 – ass in seat my friends.
I have noted that by the time the “crew” is fed, mucked and we have had our little discussion on how their day way – it’s getting dark – hmmmm – interesting.
Could it be? could the dreaded time change be coming – surely the clocks just sprang ahead – I wrote about it – did I not?
It’s upon us isn’t it?
It’s time to break out my sled – dust off my “Farmer Janes” and be prepared to play the game of wet feet/cold hands again.
This year – I am a year wiser. My schedule is on lock. I can pound out morning chores in 15 minutes. Legs are stronger – I have a few more aches and pains – my barn is almost done – the “crew” will be comfortable.
We will conserve fuel oil – we will get more rest- we will get Netflix for those long nights.
I am excited for this change in season. Every change in season has been such an adventure. There is mud season, hot season, bug season, hot season, mud season, bug season – oh wait I said those already.
A cheers to a new season – may it be as adventurous as the last season!!
