Well, to be honest, I’m not really crazy about having it in Fall/Winter - I guess it’s just ‘culture’, but I grew up knowing that the Holidays were coming, when the days grew dark earlier; all the smell of dying leaves, fun of Hallowe’en, getting ready for Thanksgiving and Christmas...and ‘falling back’ on the clock just emphasized all of that.

But I really loved DST in Summer; being out as late as possible, having hours after dinner to play baseball or ‘Blind Man’s Bluff’ or ‘Hide and Seek’, in the long gloaming; and catching fireflies until the parents finally said,’enough’ - etc.

Somehow that longer light at night, in Summer, made everyone more relaxed about everything - or so it seemed.

I’m an old lady now, but I still enjoy the jumping-forward of the clock: it’s an extra marker, and means that Spring is almost here - and ‘School’ is almost out :-)
