Probably a mistake...

I just dismantled the air conditioner (again) but this time I put it away. I'm declaring Summer OVER!! (you may take that to the bank, opakele, we earned it).

Thar she is resting in her cubby for the winter.



Behind the bright curtain. And Biggie is inspecting his much smaller, tidier Winter cat door.



DONE!

I even updated the spreadsheet. It's my twice yearly ritual. I'm always so grateful to install it and get cool again and just as grateful when I no longer need it.



I hope this does not Murphy's Law us into another hot spell!

GREAT baking news. I put a half dozen ginger cookies in a zip lock bag and they remained crisp the next day. Then I took that bag with the 5 remaining cookies and popped it into the freezer. I took out two of the cookies this morning to test. Once they were room temperature, I did the test and they were as crisp as when they originally came out of the oven!!!!

This means, I can have fresh baked home made ginger cookies at the ready ALWAYS! This is excellent news. Just excellent.

Now, for sure, I'm making a cake.

That sounds a lot like a math test. If you had six cookies......

Eating the answer is delightful.

That's interesting seeing the range of dates.

If you proclaim it, then it must be so!

Now, we can work on getting some decent rain.

Fascinating to see the shift in the set up date over nearly twenty years, it's moved forward by about a month. Does this show a change in climate or a change in your reluctance to drag the air conditioner out of storage and set it up?

Great question. And totally climate. Especially, in the spring, I am eager to get it going and cool off. And by the end of the Summer, I might keep it a few days extra in previous years, just in case, but mostly, around here, cooler fall air comes on like a light switch.
