summer past

Now that we're well into autumn and summer is well in the past, we can put the idea of warm, pleasant weather in the back of our minds until spring but we can certainly keep the memories alive! Currently, I've got the thermostat as high as it will go and all the windows closed to keep the place warm. Perhaps keeping busy in the kitchen for a while cooking a soup or something of that nature will warm up the place further. When it really gets cold, the heating systems here on the west coast have some trouble keeping up. Ideally, I would have had a cabin of my own with a wood stove to keep the place warm, very warm, but that's not the case! We do what we can with what we have. - V
