Today's the annual spring-forward day, are you ready? My sister Michelle and I used to laugh at Ruby because she had so many clocks in her house. It must have taken her hours to run all over the house, springing forward and falling back twice a year. Well, I started adding a clock here and a clock there if I saw one I liked and guess what -- now I have a lot of clocks! Let's take a look at the clocks I'll be resetting today:
this one's in the dining room...
this one is snuggled in a corner on my kitchen counter...
I got this little 2" one years ago at a gem show...
this hangs on a wall in the kitchen...
on the stove...
small one in the bathroom... are you keeping count?
I got this one at the Dollar store years ago, it's in a bedroom...
clock radio in another bedroom...
in my sewing room...
this sits on my desk above the pc...
in the car...
on the kitchen counter...
at the office...
and last but not least, can't forget my watches! I try to rotate them but I wear the Lucien Piccard most often.
So, now you know how I'll be spending part of my spring-forward day! The time on the PC and VCR's and camera and phones and iPod will reset automatically, thank goodness.
How many clocks will you have to reset today? This looks like a lot of clocks but it isn't... not really... is it?
Sew forth and sew on til later!
I guess you won't be adding any posts for a few days. It might take you that long to re-set all your clocks:)
ReplyDeleteI only have to reset the kitchen clock and the microwave, everything else is computer-reset.
ReplyDeleteNone for me but I will have to re-start the wall clock because it is sensitive to earthquakes. Actually I wish we did have daylight saving time here come June.
ReplyDeleteI have a lot of clocks around the house. Since I read your post, I counted...I have 12. Don't have to reset most of them because...they all need batteries! Will reset the clock on the kitchen stove and in the car but that is it for right now. Happy Spring!
ReplyDeleteYou have a lot of clocks!
ReplyDeleteI have reset 2 in the basement, stove, microwave and bathroom ones. I need to do the car. Only 2 watches that work right now so that was easy. My VCRs are so old I'll probably have to set them because they aren't programmed with the right date.
Just discovered your blog, and got the biggest kick out of today's post! Some of our clocks are supposed to re-set automatically (I'm not sure how that works and it's kind of scary if you think about it!), but I notice the one in my bedroom takes a couple of days before it "realizes" that daylight savings time has started.
ReplyDeleteAlso really like your post of March 7th, and how all quilts reflect the personality of their owner (with the implied meaning that they therefore all have value). Reminds me of something a famous quilter, Jean Ray Laury (who just passed away) said when I heard her lecture: "If you don't make that quilt, it will never get made!" I'm paraphrasing there, but the message was, if you have a quilt idea in your head, you MUST make it. Otherwise it will never exist.
Wow, how many clocks was that? LOL I have very few clocks now. I have one on the microwave, one on the oven and one by my TV. Once I retired I have plenty of "Time". Now I have "Time on my Hands".
