WELL IT'S ALMOST TIME.....

It's time to let our clocks and ourselves "fall" back one hour. This year adjusting our clocks falls,on a great night to catch an extra hour of sleep. After all the excitement of Hallowe'en, ghosts and goblins, we get to enjoy an extra hour of slumber.

Back in 1918, Benjamin Franklin was the first to propose the voluntary use of Daylight Saving Time in various parts of the United States. President Lyndon B. Johnson enacted the Uniform Time Act of 1966, to set standard beginning and ending dates for Daylight Saving Time across the United States.

Arizona and Hawaii don't adjust their clocks backwards or forwards twice a year.

We follow the same regulations here in Canada as well, springing our clocks ahead in March and letting them fall behind in November.

Wherever you live, this is also a great time to check your smoke alarms and carbon monoxide detectors as well!


Enjoying our extra zzzz's til March,
