(Note: here is a blog from early May before work consumed my life. You can tell I am mentally drained because I'm talking about the weather... the weather people!)
The weather here in Woodstock has pulled a fast one on me. Quite fast, actually. You see alllllll last week it was cold, and I was opening up the windows in the afternoon to let the heat in, and had put the heavy duvet back on the bed after putting it away! I was doing my very best to not have to turn on the heat. Then one afternoon it was quite nice, and the house was approx. 60 degrees so I opened up the windows. That is when it got quite hot... about 90 degrees. It has stayed that way for days and the nights haven't been cold enough to cool the house back down. :-(
Somewhere in those past three days the bug population exploded! Yikes! Yesterday Hubs had a Deer Tick! Ick! (I will spare you the details of that story) And the nats! I think they are the most annoying of the bugs, especially since they fit through the window screens. Whats with that anyway?
The spike in humidity has wafted the stench of the dairy farm over to the PT house and it is just sitting around all heavy and suffocating like with it's odor. The neighbors affectionately refer to this as "Dairy Air." I actually like the dairy farm despite the interesting odors that enter the PT house uninvited (how rude!) it adds character to the neighborhood and character is good.
Who else out there can say they can hear cows mooing from their bedroom?
