Spring is full of surprises.
Pockets of warm weather.
Flowers peeking out to see if it’s safe to grow.
And clock hands that change behind your back, which leads to unexpected new patches of sunlight.
The difference an hour makes: Sun vs. Shade
The Mix
- 1/3 cup oats, milk, water
- 1 banana
- 1 tbsp chia seeds
- Pinch salt
- Ambrosial granola
- Sunflower Butter DELICIOUSNESS!!
Going on a bear hike in…an hour!

AJ @ Flowing to Fifty says
Envious! Great shots. I can almost feel the warmth of the sun coming in your door. Great day for a hike. I’m doing a little hiking around a shopping mall today, 🙂 but I’m sending all my mental energy to Japan today – praying for all those hurt and lost and afraid.
Sarena (The Non-Dairy Queen) says
The windows are already open here! I am in love with this day already. I think the grill is going to have to be lit this afternoon and a meal on the patio is in order. Have a great hike!

I can’t believe it’s almost 11! My boyfriend is still asleep, haha. Love the contrasting pics! Have fun on your hike! The weather should be beautiful here in NC today 😀
Kristen @ Change of Pace says
Gorgeous pictures! This hour has kind of thrown me off. I feel like my day has already been wasted away!
Megan @ Loving the little things says
LOVE the additional hours of daylight! However, we’re still not feeling much springtime weather love here.
Ha, I just wrote about a need to reschedule the seasons on my blog!!
Also, I need to go back and read all the info you’ve posted on gmail. I always just skimmed that cause I never had gmail, but I just switched over to gmail and know I have tons to figure out! So, thanks in advance, but late!
Jessica @ How Sweet It Is says
I can’t believe the difference the hour makes… I slept so late!
Caitlyn (The Spoonful of Life) says
I like the comparison photos! Very neat!
Holly @ Couch Potato Athlete says
Daylight Savings Time always throws me off for a few days — like today we slept in until almost 10! Usually we are up by 7 on weekends — oh well, it is nice to rest once in a while.
Enjoy your hike!
Angela (Oh She Glows) says
Wish our weather here was Spring-like too. I woke up to more snow this morning!
Love the shadow-y pics too. It’s fun playing with light. 🙂

I’m dragging today because I forgot about day lights savings. Breakfast looks yum, and the hike sounds exciting.

Hannah says
Okay, so I was obsessed with sunflower seed butter last week, but then I came home from a three-course dinner and for some reason mindlessly ate half the jar with a spoon, and now the thought of it kinda makes me queasy…
