Isn't it great that we are getting a grand stretch in the evenings  and it'll only get better from this weekend.Today's weather was so nice I decided to get out and give the grass it's first cut of the year. Hmmm, the scent of fresh cut grass is brilliant.  . Had this to help me perform the task  |

Love the stretch. I can get in a few holes of golf in the evenings.
Although, it's in dispute as to who actually invented the notion, the English builder and outdoorsman http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/William_Willett - William Willett, who disliked cutting short his round of golf at dusk, was to one who got politicians onboard with his pamphlet "The Waste of Daylight", which advocated the idea to move the clocks forward in summertime. Unfortunately, he never got to see the fruits of his labour, as he died in the great influenza outbreak in 1915. I love June, when it's still bright at 10 pm. I remember being in Donegal one June, when I came in off a golf course at eleven bells! |
