I have over 2o decorative clocks that must be wound and/or set periodically. And yes, spring is easy; fall is horrid! I'm afraid I'm behind right now (no pun intended.) I'm temporarily in a wheelchair and my husband is not about to go around the house setting clocks forward an hour. So I live with wrong times and 12 bongs at 1:00 and some whose hands are frozen in time...until I can wind them myself and catch up with the world.<br />Congrats on POTW!ethelmaepotter!https://www.blogger.com/profile/10626030604752269356noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3154204376346679777.post-19513470977447073542012-03-14T10:56:02.991-04:002012-03-14T10:56:02.991-04:00What a lovely collection.

I’ve just learned DST begins at 2 a.m. on the second Monday in March and the expression “spring forth” and “fall back”. Still I wonder why the date is not Vernal Equinox Day when the daytime gets longer from the next day. What a fun sight to see people hustling to adjust time of clocks and electrical home appliances. I like your ending words.<br /><br />Yokostardusthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10684501661629146087noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3154204376346679777.post-20769792816000044822012-03-12T22:26:25.130-04:002012-03-12T22:26:25.130-04:00You have a lovely collection of clocks.

I don’t know how many I have – just in the den I have six or seven. That gives me an idea for a post – someday. Thanks for coming to my blog. I answered your question.

In the fall, when we have to lose an hour, it's a pain. It means I have to move the hour hand on each clock ahead eleven times, and listen to the chiming for every hour! Dong! then dong dong dong! Then dong dong dong! etc etcShammickitehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11969803866899076638noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3154204376346679777.post-85891364674864366442012-03-12T15:05:31.747-04:002012-03-12T15:05:31.747-04:00I love your collection of clocks - I think my favo...I love your collection of clocks - I think my favourite is the grandfather clock.

I have a fondness for clocks, though I don't collect them. I used to collect and wear a lot of different styles of watches, but not anymore.<br /><br />I think the only clocks that we've changed the time on since Saturday night/Sunday morning are our night table clocks. all other clocks are still an hour behind. it's a task i don't like doing for some reason.<br /><br />PS: these new captcha words are a pain, I agree!
