The Perfect End to DST

Slow time. That’s what my dear mother of blessed memory used to call it. For the record, the Amish call it that, too. Tomorrow the clocks go back in America (offer not valid in Arizona and Hawaii, where they have the good sense to leave the clocks alone). As the meme spoofing “The Sound of Silence” says, “Hello darkness, my old friend, soon you’ll arrive at 5 PM.” Yeah, no kidding. But this isn’t about that. This is about my afternoon. I went to Jefferson Memorial Forest for a little walk. I haven’t been out walking around in the area for eons, so I was pleasantly surprised at the improvements that have been made around Tom Wallace Lake. And, of course, the colors. We had some wind earlier this week, which one of the local meteorologists said would be a “leaf-stripper,” but we still have plenty of beauty left as the clocks and calendars wind down. I hope you had a great day, too! Photo is Tom Wallace Lake at Jefferson Memorial Forest.
