Daylight Savings & Spring Storms

Hello! Sorry things have been a bit quiet around the blog, but we have been laying low for the past couple of weeks. Jessica’s Mom is coming to visit this Sunday (for 3 weeks!), so I will have many new adventures for you to see very soon. The highlight of the trip will be a week in Cape Town and the surrounding areas. Yay! 

While many of you are waking up to a wonderful Daylight Saving Time Monday morning, I thought I’d share a little known fact: South Africa does not have daylight saving time. The time never changes here! I believe only 5 African countries observe DST. So, Eastern timezoners, we are now 7 hours ahead of you.

In other news, we have been enjoying the impressive Spring thunderstorms that have been happening a couple times a week. The storms come out of nowhere and usually include hail and a post-storm rainbow. Our house has some leaks, so we are usually running around putting buckets throughout the house to catch the overflow! 




Thanks for reading and remember to check back in a week or so for another round of adventures.

Love,
Jess & Mat
