Well, I guess we’ve been lucky with the more temperate (and less humid) weather that Toronto is known for in the summertime. Today, it’s FREEEAKIN’ hot! Being of a more substantial stature (above average is my favourite term), it’s sometimes a little harder to keep cool, especially when one feels motivated to get stuff done around the house, and there’s always LOTS to do. The living room is one of the only rooms that is nice and cool (it has a window air conditioner), so on really hot days, I tend to visit it more than usual.   Most of the time during the summer, our house is a warm but comfortable 75-80 degrees (yay! double brick!), and luckily we have a ceiling fan in the bedroom so we can sleep on those hot humid nights, so it’s really quite tolerable, UNLESS YOU GO OUTSIDE! then, *MELT*, it’s looking for shade time. I’m always looking for cool places to hide, so when I’ve tired myself out doing stuff around the house or oot and aboot, I can sit for a bit with a tall glass of ice water, and perhaps read a little, or just hang around daydreaming in the skychair. The back deck is almost done and soon it will turn into a little backyard sanctuary, complete with raspberry plants, veggies, flowers, a fireman’s pole and a trapeze. Yes, it is a multi-purpose space! 😉 Unfortunately, there’s really not enough room to hang the hammock in my little ivy cave, so I’m hoping to be able to hang it on the front porch, and you’ll likely catch me cat napping in the afternoon or even sleeping out there in the evening every once and a while. Ok, coffee has kicked in, now onto job 43B 🙂 Enjoy the day!
