Sauerkraut and a perm kit sounds like a lethal combination, not to mention 100 degree heat. Poor Xena. Yikes!
We've got cool weather here in Minnesota today. At least I can comfortably have the windows open for my sensitive-nosed guy.
That's why my favorite time is autumn - we have three or four lovely weeks where it is just PERFECT outside. I open the windows all over the house and create weird drafts, but there's nothing like fresh air moving through the house.
