I Want to "Fall Back" into Bed

How do you feel about Daylight Savings? I have mixed feelings. 

I agree that it's nice to have more light in the evenings during the summer - except that I put my kids to bed at 7 pm no matter what the season.
I agree that it was nice this morning to drive my 7th grader to school in daylight - except that my 5 year old got up at 4 am and has been talking ever since.


This last weekend was the first weekend in a while without a soccer game or some other activity. I jumped right on that and signed up for a knitting class. It's a three week class for learning to knit socks from the toes up. There are four of us in the class, and I am the youngest by 20 years at least. I think that is so cool! In 20-30 years, I want to be just like the ladies in my class - out on a Saturday morning learning something new.
It was so much fun. We knitted together, struggling over our cast-on, got it figured out, and I am pretty sure we're going to be friends for life. We were joking and laughing by the time we had an inch of toe knitted up. Our assignment - knit to within three inches of your heel by next Saturday. I'm nearly there. I have a busy week, so there might be some mad Friday night knitting to get the last 1.5 inches done, but there's always the carpool line.



 We also canned some more applesauce. This batch is a combination of Winesap and Jonagold apples. It turned out really good.



That's what's been going on at our house. What's happening at yours?
