I went outside for half an hour to inspect my garden and sweep up fallen leaves. I didn't really feel the heat because the tree keeps things cool, but as soon as I came in the house, I started sweating as if I was in a sauna.
I'm okay now, sitting at the computer with my little fan going. It's actually making me cold. I just checked the old thermostat on the wall and it says it's only 76°F in the house. Outside temp is 28°C/82°F.
I think it's time for another tea.

Fans create nice breezes, too.

@BarBaraPrz Yes, they do. I have mine within arm's reach. I only need to turn it on when it gets too warm in here.

It's supposed to be 90 degrees Fahrenheit today (32 Celsius). Way too hot. I'm staying inside. Hubs has to run a bunch of errands. Enjoy your day.

@BarBaraPrz We are supposed to get storms; but they always seem to bypass our little NE corner of Ohio. We need rain!

@BarBaraPrz Yes some people think hot things are no good in the heat but they work for me.

Luckily, with all that rain we got Sunday I don't need to water the garden just yet.

That's one good thing about living alone: you can keep the heating at your own comfort level.

We probably keep our air set too low because 76 would be very hot to me. That's nice that it's cooler under the trees.

Oh, I don't have AC, that's just the air temp in the house.

@BarBaraPrz That's great you can live without one, when I lived in Idaho, no one had air either. In Texas, it's almost impossible.
