Fall Back

Daylight Savings Time ends at midnight on November 1. I don’t really love the whole idea of either time change.

DST is annoying and disrupts my sleep and the grandkids are messed up for a few days, which isn’t pleasant.

So after the trick or treaters leave, we’ll go to sleep and wake up having gained an extra hour. That’s what “spring forward, fall back” means.

However, it’s illusory, as time is both a practical social construct used to organize human society and a real physical dimension rooted in the mechanics of the universe. I’m not sure the idea of “time” really means anything at all.

Ugh. That’s way too much deep thinking for today. Have a great weekend!

Ch-ch-changes | Autumn Colors

Time may change me
But I can’t trace time
Ch-ch-changes…

Sing it, David Bowie!

We all fell back last night and gained an hour. For me, It’s always a bit of an unsettling feeling for about a week or so until I get used to it.

More ch-ch-changes…

Did you know that certain trees in Southern California DO change color and lose leaves in autumn?

This is my fruit-bearing mulberry.

The leaves morph into a sunny, vibrant yellow.

Green and yellow against a blue sky.

My garden doesn’t boast any maples that turn red, but these ch-ch-changes mark the hands of time; another autumn, another winter approaching, another year almost over and finished.

Ch-ch-Changes
Pretty soon you’re gonna get a little older
Time may change me
But I can’t trace time
I said that time may change me
But I can’t trace time
