Changing the Stone-Age Clock

Pity the men who quail in dread,

Charged with moving the stones ahead.

All must be ordered

One full hour forward,

Preserving daylight hours they said.

Daylight Saving Time begins on Sunday, March 12, 2023, at 2:00 A.M. At this time, we “spring forward” one hour! Stonehenge is thought to be an astronomical calendar.

Daylight Saving Time (“DST”) is the practice of moving the clocks forward one hour from Standard Time during the summer months and changing them back again in the fall. The general idea is that this allows us all to make better use of natural daylight: moving the clocks forward one hour in the spring grants us more daylight during summer evenings, while moving clocks back one hour in the fall grants us more daylight during winter mornings.
