A few weeks after Daylight Saving Time robbed an hour of our dawn, we're beginning to catch up again. There's plenty of light for even the dim-eyed to navigate before six o'clock these mornings, flowers are in bloom with daffodils flamboyantly leading the way, the grass is greening up nicely, the air is warmer and this tired and troubled old planet smells fresh and full of life again. It's morning, and everything is new.
