I thought about that aspect too but.....doesn't the heat come when the sun comes up? It really doesn't matter what time an individual goes outside to do yard work just to beat the heat; not unless there is an appointment to attend. For us who are retired, what does it matter what time we go outside to weed the flowerbeds?

During DST, I just go outside an hour later at first light to beat the heat. That works for me. Gives me a bit more time in the morning to have breakfast before working on the property.
