Beating the Heat?
July 22, 2011
Clearly we're in the midst of the dog days of summer here! How hot is it where you live today?
On super hot days like these, AC is a must in our house; EB, especially, is very sensitive to heat. But even on the hottest of days, first thing in the morning, I open all the windows in the house. I like to get fresh air circulating, particularly through the bedrooms. I try to leave things this way as long as possible before turning on the AC, but this morning (and I'm typing this at 7:04 a.m.) is so oppressive, there's just no good to come of open windows right now. The air feels heavy and hot and about as far from refreshing as it could get. So the AC is chugging along and we're keeping our fingers crossed there are no power problems today in the area.
Nights like this it's best to cook outside if at all possible, so we have turkey burgers on our menu for tonight. A cool pasta salad and some corn on the cob will round out the meal ... as well as grilled pineapple and coconut popsicles for dessert!
Well, I hope you all have a lovely weekend, whatever your weather and wherever you are. Keep cool! Be safe! And have fun!
I'll be back again just as soon as I can.
