It takes a regularly scheduled workday to fully notice the end of daylight savings time.
Each day the shadows have lengthened, often without notice, but with the changing of just one hour, falling back and giving us – for a few days – more time, those shadows seem to lengthen faster. Perhaps it’s in the way they cut across the highway like great zebra stripes ticking off the miles on my way home. They weren’t there last week, though.
The dogs, of course, can’t understand why they’re having to wait an extra hour to be fed. You’d think they were starving.
