Goodbye Darkness My Old Friend

Those electric and heating bills can really drag you down in the winter months. Turning on the lights in the evening while you crank up the thermostat only bulks up those lovely bills that visit your mailbox once a month. But here’s something good to look forward to – daylight savings time (DST) is fast approaching. In fact, this year DST will wind its way into our lives on Sunday, March 8. Remember the old saying – spring ahead, fall back – to jog your memory as to which way to wind that big hand on your clock. DST may actually have a positive effect in your house that results in more green in your wallet. Besides seeing more daylight during your waking hours, you’ll probably be less apt to turn the lights on until later in the evening. So, less light in the house during the dinner hour could equate to more dollars in your pocket and out of the electric company’s hands. Get yourself ready for DST to start with a great swivel clock or silver world clock. Just remember to move those big hands ahead to welcome in DST.
