Miserable summer weather has already set in and it's still three weeks to the equinox! The respite we had over a week ago is truly over, and temps are soaring into the 90s. The sun on the concrete and the sides of homes dazzles my eyes and makes them ache.

Ivan talks about not having put the air conditioning on until this weekend. In Savannah yet, where they have "air you wear." Ye Gods. Talk about slow broiling on a spit.

We have found that the downstairs stays cool and have not turned the A/C on there yet. While it has been in the 90s outside, it is about 74°F down there, a bit warmish for my taste, but not bad. I think once we get the ceiling fan up in the library (we bought three this weekend, with help from that nice Lowe's gift card from the Butlers—thank you!!!!) and in James' hobby room and put up the curtains and shades in his room, it will help a lot. James is still arranging how he wants things to be down there and access to the windows is problematic.

Not having to A/C the downstairs should help on the electric bills. The new house is 600 sq. feet larger than the old one and downstairs is at least that, probably more. So in actuality we're A/C'ing less area.
