Finally, A Cooling Off...

I was so wrong about my thoughts on the weather. I really thought it would be cooler during the day by now. It has been hot...

I desperately want to make a big pot of soup, but it has been too hot to even think about cooking inside for long periods of time. I have been baking bread between 5 am and 6 am with the windows open to keep the house from heating up. 

What is strange to me is how cool the mornings have been for this many weeks without a cooling off of the daytime temperatures. The difference in temperatures is a swing of over 40 degrees. We are living in very strange times...

What a blessing it is when small storms pop up and the sun goes down.

Using both solar ovens to cook our meals has helped to keep the house cool. I have a pot of black beans heating up in one oven and I am baking cornbread in the other. Using the solar ovens has also saved us money on very expensive propane, which I am very dedicated to do after having to pay the highest price ever to fill up our tank. I will do a post on the cost of propane once it's filled and we get the bill.

When Summer begins and ends...

When Fall begins and ends...

When Spring begins and ends...
