Summers end
Last weekend the clocks were set back to standard time, after a long and eventful summer... just the small matter of getting my body back into a different rhythm.
I can't understand the logic of this switching of time every half year or so... supposedly its got someting to do with saving energy but somebody still has to point out how, where and in which ways this is done.
No matter, the mornings are brighter, the evenings are darker and the autumn leaves are scattered around, letting themselves be blown by the wind and going their own ways.
Nature is preparing to sleep, but still there's a nervous energy all around .. the shroud of darkness and decay opens the path to renewal and rebirth...
Keep well...

You are waxing poetical and its beautiful, if just authoritative enough to hide Bart, to be a bit impersonal.
On the back of that, I can't help remembering its coming up to 'that' time of year for you. S.A.D and all, and that on top of an extraordinarily tough year.
How are you Bart, are you OK?
Never got why they had to change the time. But I am ever so grateful for the extra hour of sleep I get in the autumn, for one day.
Over here, we get the long summer days. Sun is setting after 8.00pm *with daylight saving* which works for me!
I like your autumn leaves graphic. Very pretty.
I am SO glad we don't observe daylight savings time... I think it's absurd. it drove me nuts and ran me down when we lived back east.
loved your bit about nature preparing to sleep and forthcoming renewal and rebirth :o)
Daylights savings time makes no sense as an energy saver to me, either. When the sun rises so late and sets so early, the lights are on longer in both directions anyway. Plus, in the spring, when we set the clocks ahead an hour, it's just all the more difficult to get young children into bed at a reasonable time.
Do mind the SAD, Bart. It takes a lot of effort to keep it at bay in Michigan, too. I'm actually considering UVB sessions this year -- although I dislike the look of a phony tan.
Loki doesn't like the winter time either ;)
I love the Stone Henge 'toon, where do you find all of these?
Re birth, I'm all for it, I'm all in need of it, I'm all over it!
xx, Lori
