Relief Is on the Way

It looks like we will be getting relief from this hot, muggy weather in the next few hours. It's about time. The Dog Days came early this year.

We have ceiling fans in almost all the rooms, so they help some, but most of the windows are painted shut, and in this old house, you tackle projects at your own risk. We have huge maple and walnut trees in the front yard that act as our air conditioners. They are pretty good at it, but after each strong gust of wind, there is another twig or switch or branch on the ground. Everything comes with its price.

Now, if there was just a way to skip over August completely, I think I'd have it made.
