What's up?!!! August 1st....56 degrees!

I absolutely hate to be hot and was worried about that when deciding to do what we've done by living here without any airconditioning.  We took that into consideration when placing our cabin in an area surrounded by trees hoping that would help but I was still afraid I would be HOT and CRANKY. 

We've had some very hot days and I'm happy to report that our trees and having a cement floor have been extremely helpful for keeping it livable inside.  However, for the past 2 days it has actually been COLD in here.  I got up this morning and the temperature outside (and in) was 56 degrees!  Knowing how hot everyone else is I thought I'd keep the info to myself.  That is until two things happened. 

1.  My daughter came down from the loft shivering and shaking and asked me "Mommy could you make a fire?" 2.  My son came down with his ski mask on.

I just had to report that once again I have been blessed immeasurably more than I ever could have asked or imagined.......God is good!

I grew up in a house that well not a cabin and one floor but the first floor was actually underground and it was so cool in the summer and I know this will sound weird but we never really had to heat it much b/c it stayed cool in the winter too not cold just cool. Mom would had a stove down there to take the nip out but that was about it.

God Bless,
Tammy

Can I come stay with you till this heat breaks?!! It sure has been unbearable, and like you I don't tolerate the heat well at all.

You are so right, we are twins.. my hubby concurs, because I HATE to be hot & cranky. It's over 100 degrees in CT today, too... I'm staying inside. There's like, no air outside at all. Just heat. I see you've changed your photo - are those some of the trees you had to take down to get a potty? Wow! I am inspired by what you're doing, by the way.... keep it up. -Chris
