Thanks for trying, but we’re still warm and dry. It got up to at least 70 this afternoon. My skin feels like sandpaper. Ack!
I’d LOVE to have lots of windows. All of ours are high and they’re small so we don’t get nearly enough natural light. Plus we have big trees in front and back that cover up the sky. They are a blessing in the hot summers, though, by keeping the house in the shade most of the day.
I wish we COULD send this rain to y’all. We don’t need it and there’s more coming this weekend. We need to dry out.
I’m enjoying the mild temps at least. Hit 60 this afternoon while I was out, sat there a while, and now it’s slowing going up.
But much as I hate it, we need a long cold spell to kill off bugs. This spring and summer will be awful otherwise.
Trees close to the other house are a lot of why it was dark inside. That and that horrid wood paneling everywhere. The living room in this house has paneling, too, and it’s one thing I don’t like about the house. The rest of the house has white walls and is so much brighter.
Where you are, you do need trees to help keep the house cooler during summer. They help a lot here, too, but they must have socked it to this house with insulation when it was built because it stays cool during summer without a horrendous electric bill.
It looks like we’ll have some fun overnight. More rain and some thunderstorms keep building up and moving this way. I went to the other house a few minutes ago and got back just before another downpour. Had some lightning close by too.
