The lost hour

We sprang forward during the night. Now we are on heure d’été, and we’ve said au revoir to l'heure d’hiver. So for the next six months, we’ve again got a six-hour jump on the U.S. East Coast and a nine-hour jump on California and the West Coast.





Our weather is pretty lousy for a place that’s now on "summer time." It’s supposed to rain for days now. You’d think we’d be used to it at this point. To tell the truth, it does get old.

    1. The woman who sold us this house said she ended up with several pots of primroses every year in springtime. She dumped them out in the yard after they finished flowering. Thus the nice scene we enjoy every year in this season.

  2. Don't complain about the weather. I see all those flowers. The snow pile next to our driveway is still 2-3 feet high.

    1. Point taken, Bob. Still, it's miserably wet here, and it has been this way for months.
