It has finally cooled off enough down here that we don’t have to run the air conditioning all the time! We actually had it off most of Saturday and Sunday. Hopefully it will last, and we can say goodbye to high electric bills for a while. We had the windows open today and enjoyed a cool breeze and fresh air.
I participated in 3 carnivals, as well as Blog Action Day, this past week.

We just had the first day of the season where we needed to run the heat! LOL. I figure if the house drops down to 62 degrees it’s time to turn on the heat!
Thanks for the mention.

We’ve got a couple of more months hopefully before we need the heat in northern California. Few people seem to have A/C since it’s only useful about three days of the year.
Thanks for the link…

@Patrick- This morning, it almost felt cool enough to turn on the heat here, but it is starting to warm up again.
@Lazy Man- Living down in the Gulf South, I can’t imagine not having A/C! Although 75 years ago, no one had it. Having lived here my whole life, living without A/C in my house or in the car seems like a foreign concept!
