Longer Days

Finally! We are back on beach time. I love daylight savings time. I love the longer days.

I know a lot of people do not understand the hype and yes I know you still have the same amount of hours in the day but I can tell the difference.

My body clock is set to daylight savings time and when it ends in the Fall, I just never get used to it. I woke up Sunday morning feeling refreshed, but Monday morning was a little harder. The sun was not up at 6am, so it was harder for me wake up. No worries here. Soon the sun will be peeping in the blinds telling me to get up and at it. 

I like having daylight until 9:00 pm in the Summer. My eating habits are better and my exercise routines come easier. 

Tonight after dinner we had time for our food to settle before heading out for a walk. We have not been walking all Winter. It felt good to get outside and enjoy some sunshine before calling it a day. 

My work schedule felt a little off today though. It felt like it went faster and the sun shined through my window at a different time. 

I wish they would vote to leave the time change alone and leave it like this forever. The days will naturally get shorter and longer during the seasons. 

Some states have already made it a permanent change.

Do you like daylight savings time? 

What are some advantages is has on your day?

Clay

Have you ever taken a pottery class? Playing with clay is something I have always liked to do. When I was small, I used to make things out of play dough and let it sit in the sun to dry. Where I lived we had lots of clay in our dirt. All we had to do was dig about 2 ft into the soil and find nice green or red clay. My friends and I would dig it up and make little bowls and cups for fun.

I dabbled a little in pottery at school but never came home with a project that I remember. I have a couple cute things my daughter made with clay when she was in school. She made a turtle that sits by our fireplace. One of her teachers actually asked to purchase it from her. This momma said “no”. 

I have been wanting to go to a pottery class. I love clay pots and ceramics. However, I prefer the more rustic imperfect looks. If I knew how to work with pottery, I would want to make something like this…..

BUD VASE family

I love these little bud vases. They are so cute and unique and everyone of them is different. I would love to purchase one of these but I need to save for other things right now.

I am learning to appreciate bees and would love to make these……

 BEE CUPS.

I love these little Bee cups. They are meant to be placed in your garden. They catch rain water and the bees and butterflies will come in for a sip. 

These are so adorable. You can have one or you can have a cluster. They also brighten up your garden and attract other small creatures. 

I am currently looking around my area to see if there are any classes available. There is also different types of clay that can be purchased a local craft stores. I notice a lot of people I know play around with polymer clay and make earrings. I will have to read up on this a little bit and see what I can get my hands into.
