"With the time change, we've fallen back into a new routine here at home, one with dark afternoons and well-lit mornings. Last weekend, I roused my little farmers early to harvest the wheat, thresh the grain and tend to the pullets in the brooder.

What we did do that day was to convince them in their newly sunlit morning that it was springtime.
