All in Time

This is one of my favorite days of the year, right up there with Christmas, Thanksgiving, and definitely better than my birthday---it's the day we ditch Daylight Savings time and gain back our free hour, the only day of the year with 25 hours.  Sorry Arizona, you will never taste such sweetness.

I'm actually a little surprised that this day hasn't been seized and made more commercialized.  Where are all of the one hour sales?  Or the gifts that you have to buy everyone to celebrate their newly found hour?  Maybe it's just a matter of time (pun intended).

Anyway, we spent the extra time today just relaxing and doing some baking.  We had some leftover apples from when we had gone out apple picking, so we ended up making an apple cinnamon walnut bread (kind of like a banana bread) and apple strudel muffins.  They're fresh out of the oven and the whole house now has that warm, cozy, spiced smell.  It's much better than potpourri, significantly cheaper, even edible (although I suppose that remains to be seen...)
