Enjoying NotWinter (sometimes called "summer")

Whilst a goodly portion of the Lower 48 roasts in triple-digit heat, we're having another cool and damp (lots of rain showers) summer. Although we've had a few days in the low 70s, most of our temps have been upper 50s to lower 60s, with lows ranging from 38 to 48 overnight.

So how do we spend time enjoying our home, and especially the deck?

Well, you start with warm clothes and/or a jacket, hoodie, or what have you. Socks are a must. And then ...

you light the space heater and Thermacell ...

provide a blanket for anyone in need, and keep the feet close to the heat.

We waited a very, very long time for a home of our own. And dang it, we're gonna enjoy that deck no matter what!

Lower 48 Folks May Not Understand

but we're running the furnace this afternoon. Third time in the last 3 weeks we've had to turn the thing on, to take the chill out of the damp air. It's been raining all day, too.
