TIME TO FALL BACK ONE HOUR!!
Saturday evening, 11/01/2025, before you tuck into bed , if necessary, make the time change!
Summer has come to an end and Fall is in full swing. That means daylight saving time will soon draw to a close.
The The U.S. Naval Observatory's Astronomical Applications Department works on time measurement and maintaining standard time, contributing to the national time service and coordinating astronomical time scales. This year, the time change occurs on Sunday, Nov. 2.
The goal: better align our active hours with available daylight, reduce lighting demand, and give people more post-work daylight. The idea was simple: the government would extend evening daylight during longer-day months, potentially reducing lighting demand and giving people more post-work daylight. The concept came from wartime energy-saving measures taking place in countries across Europe.
Congress passed the Uniform Time Act of 1966 and in 2007, daylight saving time was extended again with energy efficiency in mind. Starting in March and ending in November.
Whether it actually saves energy today is debated, as lighting and technology have evolved. The tradeoffs remain: brighter evenings versus darker mornings. Supporters appreciate after-work daylight; critics cite sleep disruption, early-morning darkness for school buses, and unhealthy effects on circadian rhythm —the 24-hour biological cycles that regulate sleep and wake patterns. The term is derived from the Latin phrase “circa diem,” meaning “about a day,” referring to biological variations of a 24-hour cycle.

🇺🇸 September 11, 2001 – We Remember 🇺🇸

Today we pause to honor the lives lost, the families forever changed, and the heroes who showed us what courage looks like.

But as we remember, let’s also hold close a powerful truth:
We are united by so much more than what divides us.

On 9/11, and in the days that followed, America stood shoulder to shoulder—not as strangers, not as political sides, but as one people. That spirit of unity is still within us today.

👉 May this day be a reminder that beyond the noise, we share common ground: love for family, for community, and for one another.

🙏 We will never forget.

During the summer months and this heat wave we are seeing, maintaining slightly longer grass can prevent weeds, provide shade to the soil and retain moisture in the ground. Cutting you lawn too short can expose roots and lead to grass dehydration. Opt for a longer cut to promote a healthier lawn!

Watering starts now while grass is still happy and the ground isn't baked.
The forecasted 95 degree heat stretch will dry soil out quickly and make it difficult for plants to bounce back.
Grass conditions stand to change quickly with all the spring rain as it tends to make roots lazy. Roots don't grow deep if they already have a ready supply of moisture near the surface.
The strategy now is to keep things growing with ¹Occasional, ²Deep watering and training roots to dig deeper in order to chase more moisture and nutrients. We suggest watering two cycles a week, 3/4" each time for 1.5" total each week. This gives the grass moisture it immediately needs, then drying at the surface but soaks a bit deeper giving roots moisture to grow and chase.
Do Not leave grass wet at night! Fungus will likely develop and leave grass looking more damaged. Try watering no earlier than 3am, and no later than 4pm to avoid Fungus damage.
You can get through this heat with a little planning. That includes the benefit of mowing as seldom as you can get away with, and leave it long, tall and shady for the soil.
