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&#8217;m happy to be wrong about that but not all that happy to be having the white stuff today.  Oh well.<\/p>\n<p>My maternal grandfather, Daddy Smith as we called him, didn&#8217;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&#8217;t having any part of it.  I suppose that changing time matters little to you when you&#8217;re a dairy farmer who gets up around 3 a.m. anyway.  I don&#8217;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.<\/p>\n<p>Okay, time to focus.  I&#8217;m off to find a strong cup of coffee and motivate J to get moving on the BLASTED ACADEMICS.<\/p>\n<p>I hope that y&#8217;all are having a good Monday. <\/p>\n<!-- AddThis Advanced Settings generic via filter on the_content --><!-- AddThis Share Buttons generic via filter on the_content -->","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>More Coffee, Please I found out what can make the first day after the change to Daylight Savings Time even more challenging &#8212; snow!
