Good bye to October, that is. We change our clocks back this weekend, so for a while I will not be driving to work in the dark. For me that is great. Other people do not care about more morning light, they dislike earlier sunsets. I get it. I just like the idea of being able to see the deer before they leap into the road ahead of me!!

I hate driving in the dark it’s so very hard for me to see especially if headlights come at me it blinds me.

That is how I came to hit a deer a couple of years ago.

My daughter in Minnesota had snow today. I have seen years where we had heavy snow on Halloween here in Ks.

@GardenGerty ........Interesting. We get a lot of snow that I am not aware of because it is up in the mountains and I live in a valley.

We were watching out for kangaroos on our weekend away but we never see them here in the city.

Unfortunately the deer can be anywhere. I have lived places where the crashed through a glass store front.

@GardenGerty Thankfully, I can't think of an example where a kangaroo has done that but they do panic if something upsets them.

I know how it is to worry about hitting a deer, for sure. But I can't help but hate the time changing, I wish it didn't have to.

Oh, I also wish they would just put it somewhere and leave it alone.

@GardenGerty For me, the spring change was the worst. I truly used to resent that hour being stolen from me, even though we technically get it back in the fall time change. I agree, put it somewhere, and stop the insanity.

It is all a part of life, I guess, but my route is very prone to animals, especially deer.

Wow! I hope you can show us some pictures of the deer. Why they don't like the morning light? That one of the best thing to look forward to in the morning. But I guess I know why they hate sunset - because its kinda sad to look at it, it makes me feel sad too. I love morning sunlight.

I have always been an early riser so I like early light.Especially when I drive to work. I like being at home to see the sunset.

I wish we did not change the clocks back and forth here. It will be getting dark that early here starting next week.
