One of my favorite times of year is Autumn.
I live in the Southeast, & it’s tepid & humid here almost all year long.
Often, though, once Autumn rolls around, both of us will have a little bit of natural cooling going on. Some years it’s better than others. This past year both of us had a nice Autumn with lots of natural Cooling in the air. I was able to turn off my Heating, Ventilation, & A/C system for almost 2 weeks. I was quite thrilled about it, as that saves money & also allows me to get fresh air into the house. Then, I decided that all of them were so much fun I needed to go on an adventure. This year, I chose for my adventure & peach picking weekend. I got in the car & put the pet in the back seat & headed off in a Northerly Direction. It was quite odd, though, because as I drove farther north it got hotter. That is very unusual, of course, & when I happened upon the peach orchard & hotel, I discovered that I absolutely needed to blast the AC. In addition, I used the air conditioning in the car almost the whole way. Now that Autumn is over, I expected the weather in my little neighborhood to get even colder, & that would be fabulous because it would seem more like Christmas; Unluckyly, though, I have no need to turn on the oil furnace. In fact I do not suppose I will be able to turn my thermostat settings from cooling to heating any more this year. It seems to be quite tepid outside even at night oh, so I am being forced to use the air conditioning despite the fact that this is the month before Christmas.Even though I didn’t have the weather I preferred, my peach picking was easily an adventure.
