It really cooled down last night. The temperature gauge on the porch read only 63 degrees at about midnight and I was chilly even in sweat pants and a sweat shirt. I put on some fluffy socks and sat outside for awhile looking at the stars. The night sky was so black and clear and there were so many stars that could be seen, it sort of made me realize exactly how small we are, if that makes sense. This morning I noticed that the leaves one of the dogwoods in the front yard is starting to change to red already! It won’t be long now before we are all complaining about the winter weather again!
Too hot to cook inside
It has been so very hot, it is to darn hot to cook inside. I refuse and we are going to live off sandwiches and if some one wants to fire up the grill they can cook outside. I hate summer in this house it does not have an up to date air conditioning system and it gets so very hot in a couple of rooms including the kitchen. So after it gets hot I stop baking and only cook breakfast, that is while it is still cool from the night. No more chicken and dumplings no pies and worst of all for me at least no turkey and dressing. These will just have to wait until it cools off a little.
