This has to be the worst summer weather I can ever remember. Only a few days the temperature has barely snuck into the 80s. Here it is nearing the end of July and I have not put in or needed our air conditioners. The last week has been more summer like with high humidity, but the temperatures have remained low.
Without exaggeration almost every day in June it rained or was cloudy. Many of my flowers died because they were soggy without the sun to dry them. And my vegetable garden, pleeease! I hardly saw a tomato or cucumber sprout on the vine for almost the entire month.
I have been inside two or three homes all summer where the A/C was running. Are you kidding me? I am almost certain I will not be putting in an air conditioner this summer. In fact I am thinking of making it a commitment. Even if the weather eventually turns hot and sticky, I'm not going to give in. It's a matter of pride now. I can say one summer I never used air conditioning.
I am going green. That's my story. Not using A/C will save electricity and lower my carbon foot print. All though I should probably invest in some extra deodorant; it could get a bit odoriferous around my house.
Yep next year I will be clearing two years of dust off my air conditioners.
And the weather for today, cloudy with heavy rain. Sigh...
