(March 29, 2011) Remember years ago when spring came it was time for spring cleaning? The brighter days somehow accentuated the dust and dirt around the house. The curtains looked drab, walls seemed dull, carpeting was dingy, closets were overstuffed. So it was time to get out the deep cleaning products and muscle and dig into spring cleaning.
Even though the signs of need are there I can't seem to get moving and attack the job. During the cold spell I did clear out some stuff we haven't used in years, giving to the local thrift shop. But lots more needs to go before summer. And I did look up the carpet cleaning man's telephone number. But that's as far as spring cleaning has progressed. I guess today I'll tackle my regular weekly cleaning jobs and after this week's snowstorm think again about spring cleaning.
In the meantime, I'm checking out the blogs here at Recorder Community Newspapers' website to see what's others are up to. Some 60 community organizations and individuals are sharing information and even just chit-chat.

Spring starts Sunday
(March 18, 2011) Spring begins this year at 7:21 p.m. Sunday, March 20.
At the start of spring — the vernal equinox — day and night are each about 12 hours long (with the actual time of equal day and night, in the Northern Hemisphere, occurring a few days before the vernal equinox). The sun crosses the celestial equator going northward; it rises exactly due east and sets exactly due west.
This timely information as well as many other items can be found right here at the 15 online Recorder Community Newspapers and their more than 60 blogs. You can read the latest local news as well as information on a variety of interesting topics. The blogs are an interactive 21st century communication.

Spring forward this weekend
Daylight-saving time will return here at 2 p.m. this Sunday, March 13, when clocks in the four time zones of the contiguous U.S. (Eastern, Central, Mountain and Pacific, except Arizona) will jump one hour forward at 2 a.m. local time. This marks the moment each year that U.S. and Canadian clocks switch from standard (or winter) time to DST (or summer) time in 2011.
So before retiring on Saturday night, set your clocks one hour ahead.
Most of the destinations in the Western Hemisphere that observe DST will be "springing forward" on March 13. The time change also takes place in Canada's Atlantic Time Zone, as well as the Alaska Standard Time Zone. Standard time will resume at 2 p.m. on Sunday Nov. 6.
