Daylight Saving Time Ends
The 1st Sunday in November.

Every soul counts!

Post a CommentGood reminder about recycling, and about the duties and fun :)
Would never forget Black Friday, but thanks for the heads up on the other dates.
Interesting and comprehensive list; thanks!
Catching up on all your great pieces today!
So, what are they going to call the holiday for the extra saints--All the Other Saints' Day??
great list, I had no idea about adoption day:)
Thomas is most assuredly correct!
Very inclusive list, David, but I believe DST was first developed by the Wilson administration during the aforementioned First World War.
;)
Thank you. :)
