More Coffee, Please

I found out what can make the first day after the change to Daylight Savings Time even more challenging — snow! So, today we’ve got lots of fluffy flakes, sloppy parking lots, and a gray, gray sky.

Fun, fun, fun.

I’m actually glad that it did snow again. My J really likes snow and he asked me the other day if we would be getting any more this year. I told him not until December. I’m happy to be wrong about that but not all that happy to be having the white stuff today. Oh well.

My maternal grandfather, Daddy Smith as we called him, didn’t change his watch when the time change came around. I think that the decision to use Daylight Savings Time might have been new in the state of Alabama at the time and he decided that he wasn’t having any part of it. I suppose that changing time matters little to you when you’re a dairy farmer who gets up around 3 a.m. anyway. I don’t know what he accomplished, save for making Ma Beaut mad when she had lunch ready an hour before anyone showed up to eat it. He and she were a study in contrasts. I loved them both to pieces.

Okay, time to focus. I’m off to find a strong cup of coffee and motivate J to get moving on the BLASTED ACADEMICS.

I hope that y’all are having a good Monday.
