Daylight Saving Time officially began at 2 o’clock this morning. If you’re one of those people whose lives revolve around the sun, it takes some adjustment.
Just what time will the sun set in Ankeny tonight?
Sunset is at 7:16 p.m. Sunrise on Monday is 7:32 a.m.
The vernal equinox is on March 20. From that point on, we’ll be enjoying more hours of daylight. On the first day of spring, the sun rises at 7:17 a.m. and sets at 7:27 p.m.
By May Day, Ankeny will have 14 hours and 3 minutes of daylight, with the sun rising at 6:10 a.m. and setting at 8:13 p.m.
Here are a couple of ideas to consider now that the days are longer. Add your suggestions in the comments.
Start exercising outside. An extra hour of daylight at the end of the day gives you time for a bike ride of walk. Many of Ankeny’s trails are paved, and once the weather warms up, head out on the High Trestle Trail.
Plant some things in your garden. Yes, it’s too soon for plants, but not too early to start planning garden decor. Get a feel for what you want to do at TNT Landscaping or Earl May Garden Center.
