last week I gave in and turned on the air conditioner to cool down the house…

George and I would always struggle over when to put it on, at what temperature and when to turn it off…

at night I would want to turn it off and open the windows to let in fresh air… he would want to keep it on with all the windows closed to keep the cool/cold air in the house…

made for interesting conversations, lol… I would be so happy to still be able to have one of those conversations…

another negative is once you get into the cool house you don’t want to go outside again…

since turning it on, I’ve been leaving the house closed up during the day and the temperature not too cold… at night I’ve been opening the windows to let in the fresh air…

this shot of one of the morning glories today reminded me not to hide in the house but to get outside and enjoy the peace and beauty of the garden…
