I met my across-the-hall neighbor this morning. She walks early and I sometimes see her when I walk Zoe.
She awakened with windows open, freezing and it was 64 degrees in her home. We left our shades open last night to see the moon and stars, had the A/C on to 72 degrees and windows closed because of bugs (me) and pollen (him) and it was 79 degrees over here. Guess who’s paying more for utilities?
We live across the hall but the sun, even before 6:30 in the morning, is harsh. The shades are down tonight. It’s really a shame to do that because we have a lovely view.
It’s been a long time since I’ve lived in this sort of climate and it’s only been a while. Things have been reversed, warmer winters and cooler summers. Luckily I kept my snow tires on, as I only drive a few miles a week. Did you hear that, insurance company? 25K miles in six years that includes two cross-country trips. Methinks the premium should be reduced.
Different weather 10 feet away? I don’t quite know what to make of that. Dee
