Spring Ahead ~ Sunday, March 10, 2013

Daylight Savings is Time ~ March 10

“It was one of those March days when the sun shines hot and the wind blows cold: when it is summer in the light, and winter in the shade.” Charles Dickens

Spring Ahead!

It’s that time of year again. At 2 a.m. on Sunday, March 10th, we set the clocks ahead one hour. The promise of springtime and sunshine is sure to add a burst of positive energy to the air … especially as we shovel out from another snowstorm on March 8th!

Next week is an ideal time to do a little lighting maintenance to make your spring and summer lighter and brighter. Here are five five tips now that spring is around the corner.

• Change the batteries in your smoke detector.
• Clean your outdoor lights and change light bulbs. Consider LED as you will save energy and money while helping the planet.
• Change timers on lights to light later.
• Use dimmers to save energy.
• Install landscape lighting before your buds bloom.
