Dog Days of Summer


All I can say is thank goodness they are here...I've waited soooo loooonnnngg!! I can say this now because it is a sunny, breezy 23 degrees today, but I really do love it nice and hot. Also, after nearly five years of marriage, hubby is slowing being broken down and has consented to a bedroom window air conditioner. Last year it was bamboo window blinds, and really, those of you that have them know they don't keep out tons of light but do slightly help when the sun is shining in your face at 5 a.m. He is an early riser, but I like to sleep with a pillow over my head blocking out the sun, birds, trains and anything else that might wake me up before at least 7. I really think several summers of the evil Medusa stare at the crack of dawn are what caused hubby to relent. I always liked Greek mythology.
