I broke the sacred rule against turning the oven on before October. I made brownies and apple cinnamon muffins. My elliptical machine has been shipped. I pulled a muscle in my right arm (making it hard to type this) and Mandolin is recovering from a nasty bought of facial hives from an allergic reaction to salad dressing of all things.
My guy goes back to work teaching next week and I don't. Overall, life is pretty good here, how about you?
Our biggest news is that we've only run the A/C maybe 25 days this Summer. We went deep into July before having to use it, and it's only been on twice this week, but it'll be on for the rest of the week. The pool temp. is always in the low 70s in August, but the nights have been so cool (we've even used a blanket at night, which unheard of in July & August!) that the pool temp is in the mid-60s.
ReplyDeleteIn 18 years we've never had a Summer this mild, and as a consequence the Mojave Desert Glaciers have grown!
we don't have central air. we have a few window units, but they're used sparingly. our big problem is that there are no trees in our yard and our neighbors don't have trees either, so our house gets hit with direct sun. when the oben goes on, the 350 degrees heats up the whole house making it almost unbearable. However, the brownies are awesome, so it was worth it.
