[vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]Although most people believe daylight saving (not savings) time was created to help farmers, it was first enacted in 1918 as a way to save coal. The farmers actually fought it because it meant they had less daylight time in the morning to milk their cows! I often feel like fighting it as well. Who wants to get up an HOUR earlier? That first Monday morning wake up can be brutal and you feel it all day long. I am much more partial to that wonderful day we call ‘Fall Back’. To help us all out we collected our favorite COFFEE cocktails that, I think the rule says, you can drink any time you want that first Monday after Spring Forward…[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column width="1/2"]
